Sonespheres is a series of uniquely sound-designed atmospheric synths, textural pads, evolving soundscapes, nuanced drones and tonal ambiences, built for Native Instruments Kontakt.
Each volume explores the creative vision of American composer and sound artist Blake Ewing, delving into deeper aesthetics, stylized niches and specialty production concepts.
Film and television composer and long-time Soundiron collaborator Blake Ewing opens the series with Sonespheres Vol. 1 – “Distance”.
He brings to his craft a brilliant ear for nuanced layering, rich detail, fluid textures and powerful emotional weight.
Each of the sounds in this library have been created by hand and carefully guided with a very clear artistic vision.
Sonespheres 1 Distance includes a deep selection of new and inspiring content that were sculpted from a wide array of acoustic instrument and vocal recordings, with a full array of essential user controls to unlock virtually limitless creative potential.

This is a standard Kontakt open-format library, so the free Kontakt Player does not fully support it and can only run it in a limited “demo mode”.
However, the sample directories are unlocked so you can use them in other wav-compatible software, sampler and synth formats.
The special Libraries tab doesn’t support this open-format Kontakt library, but you can use the standard File browser tab, or import this library into the Kontakt database and Quickload tools for easy navigation, loading and organization.
“In my mind, with few exceptions, music supports and invokes a certain storytelling.
Hearing certain timbres and frequencies together triggers something in most of humanity.
A place. A time. A memory. An emotion. A sense of urgency or hope. A needed comfort. A broken heart. Real or concocted, the effect is universal.
This belief and these experiences affect me not only as a person, but inspire me as an artist.
To that end, I’m proud to have helped create a set of tools that will hopefully act as a starting canvas for your own productions.
My hope is that you as musicians will use these sounds as the hazy, ethereal, ambiguous base, on which to bring into sharp focus your own artistic visions – Be it in support or your stories, or those of the others with whom you work.
In Distance, I’ve tried to be thorough without being repetitive – to offer sounds that might work in a range of production styles and musical sensibilities.
From longing solo instruments and heartbreaking pads to tense bowed textures and forward-leaning rhythms, I truly hope there’s something here for everyone.“
