Lumos is an ambient orchestra of sounds based on nothing else but the sounds of lamps. From cozy 40 watt lightbulbs all the way up to illuminating 200 watt.

"let there be light! lumos is an ambient collection of sounds based on the sounds of... lamps!"

When Spectrasonics created the Psychoacoustic section of samples in Omnisphere they didn’t hold back. They did not just burn up a piano just to hear how that might sound, but also recorded the glassy sound of old tungsten lightbulbs being struck with different intensities.

Equipped with the sound of a handful of lamps, our goal was to explore these sounds by turning them into sequences, textures / soundscapes, synth(ish) leads and pads.

Lumos is a soundset in two parts. The first part is all the sounds based on the sound of lamps. The second part is a re-imagining of our favourite sounds, but using bell-like FM tones based on the internal synth engine.
