VIBRANT, EVOCATIVE, GRANULAR VOX

PHARLIGHT is a vocal-based granular instrument for artists, composers, musicians, and sound designers, developed by the team behind STRAYLIGHT. Its idiosyncratic sample library packs unconventional sounds designed and recorded specifically for two unique playback modules. From cinematic soundscapes and pulsating ambiences to haymaker hooks, PHARLIGHT is all about injecting incredible sound, imaginative modulation, and organic, melodic timbres into your music.

PHARLIGHT’S VOICE

We did extensive research into distinctly-vocal sounds that work wonders with the granular engine. Invented phrases created and recorded for their special spectral diversity, curated noise samples, beatboxers, and multi-sampled choral tones provide just some of the fuel for the engine’s unique character. The result is 319 sound sources, with over 350 expertly-designed snapshots that draw the very best out of Pharlight’s engine.

MAKING PHARLIGHT

Built in collaboration with Frank Elting and Overklang, PHARLIGHT is the product of an extensive exploration into capturing the human voice in new ways. The recording process involved a diverse range of over 15 vocal artists and sound designers with a shared affinity for unconventional sound. We spent a huge amount of time refining presets to bring the best out of each sample.
