FNUGG is a Kontakt library that situates itself at the intersection of field recording samples, granular synthesis textures, and binaural drones, offering a sophisticated toolkit for contemporary sound design and cinematic scoring. Developed through extensive in-situ recording sessions in Norway, FNUGG captures a range of organic sound sources—bowed metals, colliding objects, natural environments—resulting in raw, resonant material that serves as the foundation for complex sonic transformations.

At its core, FNUGG embodies a conceptual inquiry into temporality and duration within sound. Unlike traditional musical structures grounded in linear, measured time, FNUGG’s granular synthesis techniques fragment and reassemble audio into evolving soundscapes that resist conventional temporal progression. By segmenting field recordings into micro-temporal grains and layering binaural processing, the library enables the production of dynamic, morphing textures that articulate time as a qualitative flow rather than a fixed sequence.

This approach reflects a broader philosophical understanding of sound as a medium through which the relentless becoming-other of time is made audible. FNUGG’s patches traverse a range of sonic states—from delicate, fluttering micro-movements to dense, rhythmic collages—highlighting sound’s capacity to represent temporal multiplicity and interruption. These evolving textures create immersive auditory environments suitable for use in experimental music, cinematic soundtracks, and immersive audio installations.

By integrating modular synthesis-inspired modulation with expertly manipulated source material, FNUGG facilitates an interactive performance experience, where users can shape temporal flow and texture in real time. The library thus functions not only as a repository of sounds but as a platform for exploring sound’s materiality and temporal complexity.
