Swords to Ploughshares is a Kontakt instrument built from field recordings captured by Ukrainian sound designer Histibe during the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Recorded in Kyiv and the Carpathian mountains, it blends everyday city life, wartime ambience, air raid sirens, distant blasts, and serene mountain nature with eerie shortwave radio broadcasts. The result is a deeply expressive toolbox for songwriting, electronic music, trailer scoring, and film or game soundtracks. An advanced interface with presets makes it easy to shape and combine these textures, and it runs in the free Kontakt Player with NKS support. Unlocked WAV files are included for full customization. Ideal for producers and composers seeking unique, narrative-driven sound design and atmospheric textures.
