This started out as a side project of dark artist, designer and entrepreneur Chad Savage in 2003. The Challenge: Create some sound loops that (a) would create a genuinely creepy atmosphere in a haunted house, (b) looped seamlessly and were long enough not to get repetitive, and (c) didn't utilize the same 20 sound effects that every haunted house / Halloween tape/CD had been using for the preceding 3 decades.

SinisterSonics are audio collages that pull from a variety of sources: Sound FX, movies, TV, music, you name it. You might recognize something, but most of it has been mutated and twisted out of true (as much to avoid copyright infringement lawsuits as anything else!).

Each track is designed to work as a self-sustaining loop that can be used in a room at a haunt or Hallowe'en party. They can also be played end-to-end to create a sort of audio journey through a nightmare soundscape.

Download and use them as you like - haunt your house, your party, your neighbors, whatever!

An acid-pop ensemble from the University of North Texas from 1988 to 1990-something, and 2025~ Among our ranks we boasted an award-winning classical pianist, several professional musicians, and some of the frustrated cream of the UNT Jazz, Classical, Dance, and Art departments' crops. Often described as a birthday party in Hell, and a cross between a circus and a nightmare, we had a small but devoted audience who showed up wherever we could get permission to play, be it parking lots, basements, record stores or lounges.
Thank you to all the people who came to see us and encouraged us. We'll keep posting as we find/create more material.

We are Nervöse System. We are Werner and Gerhard. We are bio-medical student wunderkinds that play Retro Bio-medical Euro-Techno synthesizer musics. Working on Kompilation. Please enjoy this sampling in mean time. Tchuss!
