Horror Gurdy & The Apprehension Engine

Is there a more wonderfully horrifying sound than the one produced here? Combine the magnificently ghastly sounds produced by composer Mark Korven's (The Witch, The Lighthouse) Apprehension Engine, and couple them with the wailing, wheeling sounds of a traditional, medieval Hurdy-Gurdy.

A soundtrack fit for any horror tale. Or your October nightmares...

Enjoy!

  

Mark Korven & The Apprehension Engine - Horror Sounds for 2019

Toronto horror film composer Mark Korven (well-known for his unsettling scores to The VVitch as well as the upcoming The Lighthouse) and fine instrument builder Tony Duggan-Smith have devised and constructed an incredible, skin crawling invention called The Apprehension Engine.

A Frankenstein's Monster-like instrument roughly constructed with a sole purpose of creating wonderfully discordant, eerie, horror sounds...

Earlier this year, Korven recorded a quick live performance with the Apprehension Engine and produced some of the creepiest, coolest sounds I've ever heard! What I wouldn't give to play around on this thing!! Enjoy...
