I make sounds, making sounds makes me happy.
I've always been fascinated by sound and I've been playing and programming synthesisers since the 80s. I consult to and create factory presets & sound content for a range of manufacturers including: Novation, Arturia, Unfiltered Audio, Kilohearts, Rhizomatic, Tritik, Xils, TAL, Tangible Waves Modular.

I also do bespoke sound design to order for composers and musicians.

I love using analog tape, vintage and modern samplers and some carefully selected software and hardware tools to introduce dust, texture, life, breath and decay into my sounds.

For professional, quality presets/samples to deadline for your product, or bespoke sounds for your soundtrack work please check the Community page for ways to get in touch.

Brian Transeau/BT:

"I just wanted to say your sound libraries are fantastic. Really wonderful, thoughtful work. Great job! As a life long sound designer, it’s very rare I come across libraries that speak to me emotionally. The emptyvessel libraries are deeply nuanced, evocative and inspired. Phenomenal libraries and they just ooze inspiration. The biggest reason to own TAL Sampler if I am honest!
Also - super cute cat, when I was emailing you my wife leaned over and was like “aaaaawww” :)"

Paul Haslinger , LA based film/tv composer, musician and ex Tangerine Dream member:

"it is quite rare that I receive a first batch of any sound design that's as dialed in as these sounds are for me!  You really nailed the vibe, and the new patches are all instantly inspiring"

Charlie Clouser, (Nine Inch Nails, Saw, American Horror Story):

Good on ya m8.  Some great stuff in those banks. It was a late night, the price was right, what can I say?  Add to cart
Nice work!

Torley, it's hard to describe who Torley is but he means a lot to a lot of synth heads. You had to be there but if you were, you know:

"Synergy is an outstanding value and a terrific inspirational journey into BYOME's possibilities, with glitchy loopers, textured atmospherics, and surprises galore when you feed in varying source material — a collection that's truly illuminating to deconstruct and learn how Empty Vessel came up with these crazy combinations! I also dig how most of the preset titles are annotated with suggested uses, which'll help you get the most out of this wild ride!"

All of the samples you find in my packs are recorded, created, processed & mastered by me and 100% original, unless stated otherwise in collab packs.
If you purchase any of my packs - thank you! You're helping me to be able to carry on spending time doing what I love, creating sounds to inspire composers and producers. I hope you enjoy the samples or presets and they inspire you to create music or just to have fun.
