Spitfire Audio Lea Bertucci - Xtended Vox
Vocal Virtual Instruments
The Outer Reaches of the Human Voice
Explore the outer reaches of the human voice with this incredibly unique world of cutting-edge textures, rhythms and evolving drones.
Curated and produced by composer and sound artist Lea Bertucci, this powerful tool captures the radical visceral vocalisations of herself and three renowned pioneers of the avant-garde - Audrey Chen, Cansu Tanrikulu & Phil Minton.
From earth-shaking bass drones to window-shattering sound effects, whispers, rhythmic clicks and glissandi to haunting multiphonic choirs; these alien-like instruments will hum, hiss, heckle and haunt to create immediate tension, atmosphere, horror and beauty - a wealth of delights and terrors for any experimental producer, beatmaker or film composer.
The plugin's radically transformative processed signal and in-built controls take the organic sounds to new sonic realms to create complex otherworldly synth textures, rhythms and sound effects beyond your wildest dreams - designed to inspire and breathe new life into your compositions.
Visceral Vocalizations
Expand your sound palette with 49 original presets, bursting with invention - ideal for creating cinematic trailer music and non-diegetic sound FX, particularly for horror or sci-fi, or adding texture, atmosphere and a distinctly human element to any genre of music.
Xtended Vox captures the unique voices and sonic vocabularies of Lea Bertucci and three acclaimed vocal artists, stretching across varying generations and geographies and melding free improvisation with formalised composition.
The original vocal recordings have been taken to new sonic dimensions using warped using multiple outboard and digital processing techniques, accessible via the dynamics fader - cycle through layers of varying processing, each unique to each individual preset.
The library encompasses the most radical and eccentric of vocal techniques, from visceral throat singing to alien nasal sounds; from the most fragile of whispers and birdsong-like whistles to lip trills, yodels, shrieks and ululations - pushing the boundaries of what can be done with contemporary voice.
