Following the success of Nobody Wants To Be My Friend, iamhill returns with Isolate, a bold, genre-bending collection that captures her signature raw, expressive, and unapologetically human edge.

At the core of Isolate lies a stunning vocal collection that’s dripping with emotion, grit, and raw-futuristic textures.

Complementing them are vocal loops, with mesmerizing toplines, layered harmonies, and processed FX loops that are perfect for building hooks or sparking new ideas in seconds.


Isolate goes beyond vocals with a rich palette of melodic loops and one-shots that blur the lines between electronic, alt-pop, and experimental. The drum one shots offer tight snares, deep kicks, crisp claps, and cutting hi-hats for building custom kits with character. While drum loops lay down everything from tight hi-hat patterns to full grooves, punchy kicks, and tom-heavy textures, giving you instant rhythmic foundations.


The FX one shots push things further with detailed foley, sweeping transitions, moody atmospheres, and experimental noise layers that add depth and movement. Plus gritty FX foley loops and deep bass loops for maximum low-end impact. Rounding it out are electric and acoustic guitar loops and a handful of melancholic piano phrases. Plus synths loops and one-shots, bringing shimmering leads, lush pads, moody chords, and delicate plucks, each dripping with emotion and attitude.

Original Clip - We're in this together

4rd day of the #21daysofVGM Challeenge inspired by Doom Carnival and Compounding the Problem, a creepy tune in 12/8.

Carnival Of Terror

Day 4 of The 21-Day Composition Challenge by VGM Academy
Topic: Openness

Soundscaping suspense

Day 4: Openness

Today's theme was not-as-often used intervals in a specific direction. I  chose the descending major 7th as my interval for melodic inspiration.

Summer 2020

21 Days of VGM - Day 4

My most messed up track so far. So one is super weird and hard to listen to.
I used Cinecamples' Ancient Bones library that has a bunch of atonal crazy instruments like - the Death Whistle, the Trident Shell and the Femur Trumpet.

The challenge of the day:
Something Strange & Wonderful: Write a melody using an instrument you’ve never used before whose name you aren’t even 100% sure how to pronounce. Did you know there’s an instrument called a “Crwth?” Those 11th-century Welsh musicians really knew how to rock. Good look finding a sample library with THAT included.

I have decided to make it a bit more interesting for myself:
* Every day I would need to compose in a different key
* Every day I would need to use a different library and ONLY that library
