About this album

Chapter 23: Soundscapes is a 14-song album from VITAL, released in 2023. It's sound design and drone music, dark, mysterious and tense, built on synth, sound effects and bass. The songs run 88 to 160 BPM, in keys like E minor, A minor and G minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and horror. Most songs come with stems (bass, synths and strings) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
