Dark contrabasses playing C minor 2nd variation

Instrument samples > Synths / Electronic

Another dark and ominous sound, this time created by playing two C minor chords an octave apart, the higher chord fading in midway.
The contrabass samples is part of the "Signal Experiments Sustain Strings" I developed and are available in SFZ format here:

This was perfect for a short video I posted to Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lite_play/52728143125/in/dateposted-public/
I actually blended (slightly overlapped) with your other dark contrabasses playing C-minor to make it last as long as my video. I think it works -- hope you do, too.
This is the first time I've used CC-licensed material; please let me know if I have not properly credited your work. Thanks!

This is exactly what I was looking for... that ominous faint overtone.... tells the audience "Plot thickens"
