Sound Dust exists because the world doesn't need another clean sample library. We are audio archaeologists excavating the weird, the messed up, and the gloriously unstable. Every instrument is a collision of history, happenstance and hope, designed to be pushed until it breaks. If you want pristine, look elsewhere. If you want digital ghosts with analog soul, this is your place.

'Sound Dust makes one of the strongest arguments for the sampler as a true, expressive instrument. The care, creativity, quirkiness & MUSICALITY found in all their instruments has led to many inspiring moments for me. Highly recommended.'

'Sound Dust instruments are truly innovative & original. They are what every composer and songwriter needs as a first call for creative inspiration, which brings ideas to fruition in ways that could only be dreamed of previously. I just love them.'

'There comes a point in every production when you've done the basics and now you need something new, interesting, unique & inspiring. So I navigate to my Sound Dust library where time and time again I'm surprised and thrilled by what I find.'
