Vertigo Glass & Iron

Vertigo Glass & Iron by Cinematique Instruments turns glass and metal recordings into warm, gritty textures with an organic ensemble feel. Its collection of 17 sound sources draws on rubbed wine glasses, bowed vibraphone, singing bowls, struck glass, and more unusual processed material. Blend these layers freely, then adjust each source’s tuning and pan position to shape anything from delicate shimmering tones to raw, experimental soundscapes. The contrast between resonant metal and fragile glass makes it a useful choice for film scoring, atmospheric passages, and productions that need character beyond conventional instrument sounds. Fourteen ready-made ensemble presets offer immediate starting points before you build your own combinations. It suits composers and producers looking for an approachable texture-building instrument with tactile detail, imperfect edges, and plenty of tonal variety.
