Haunted Glass

A bowed wine glass

ByJoe Pignato

The story

Haunted Glass is derived from a session of bowing a wine glass while using the water level to change the pitch. Some post-processing was done to give it its haunting characteristics. The main patch contains three sonics layers. Layer one is the bowed glass, layer two is a light synth sound, and layer three contains a low ominous drone. The second patch is a more dissonant performance full of wavering pitch and overtones. The instrument is powered by the Photosynthesis Engine GUI and works on Kontakt Version 5.8.1 or above

  • Mesmerizing!

    This quickly became one of my favourite Pianobook instruments (and I have really seen them all). The atmosphere, the textures, the options, and overall quality, everything is absolutely astonishing. It's based on the Photosynthesis engine, but it's incredibely customized, and everything works perfectly well, even the Sequencer!

    If I have to complain about something, it's that the notes in the main patch don't last forever. They do last around 10 seconds, which is more than enough in most cases, and you can blend them very easily with repeating the same note. They seem to loop perfectly fine on the other two patches though!

    Excellent work nonetheless. Instant favourite, absolute recommendation! Cheers to Joe!
