The “Etruscan werewolf” refers not to a shapeshifting beast but to a daemon-wolf—a liminal spirit between life and death in Etruscan belief. With a human body and wolf’s head, this being symbolized restless souls who had died violently or without proper burial.

Depictions appear on tomb paintings and artifacts like the Pontic Plate (c. 520 BC) from Vulci, showing a clawed wolf-man with gold bracelets among mythic creatures. To the Etruscans, the wolf embodied twilight and the passage to the underworld—a guardian of death and transition. Unlike modern legends, this figure reflected the spirit’s unrest, not transformation.

Body Garden - Ambient drone from Harrisburg, PA

Vital - A powerful wavetable synth, my personal favorite VST synth, very easy to figure out creating new synth sounds, with the help of the plenty of tutorials that are out there for the plug-in. (There are paid versions but they are completely unnecessary to get 99% of the features of the plug-in.)

Synth1 - A classic piece of synthesizer software.

Pendulate - An interesting, chaotic synth that you can make weird little sounds with.

Native Instruments' free plug-ins - Various cool VSTs, including the Komplete Start pack.

The Free Orchestra - A set of orchestral instruments for Kontakt Player (see previous link).

BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - More orchestral stuff! This one has its own player so you don't have to download a separate VST to use it if you don't want to.

Magical 8bit Plug - A chiptune plug-in, intended for producing sounds like that of 8-bit systems like the NES and Master System.

Genny - A synth VST made to emulate the soundchip of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

MT Power Drum Kit - A nice rock n' roll style drum kit plug-in.

This guy's weird VST collection - 6.4 gigabytes of weird VSTs, including some you might know, like Delay Lama and MeowSynth!

sforzando - A free player for soundfont files.

Musical Artifacts - A resource I mainly use to find soundfonts, on which you can find other various things as well.

Kilohearts Essentials - 30 effect VSTs including reverb, delay, compression, pitch shifting, transient shaping, ring modulation, phase distortion, and more.

Xfer's freeware VSTs - Exactly what it says on the tin, including the one and only OTT compressor.

Illformed - The good ol' dblue Glitch 1.3, Crusher, Stretch, and TapeStop.

Hysteresis and Fracture - Two interesting glitch effects, one being a delay and the other being a buffer.

Codec - A cool digital audio degradation effect.

Le Phonk - A slick distortion plug-in.

MAIM - An effect that mimics the sound of MP3 compression.

Soundly Shape it and Place it - One is simply an equalizer VST, the other is an effect that emulates a speaker (ex: a radio) and a space (ex: a cave).

Fresh Air - An effect that adds high end information to your sounds, to provide brightness.

ValhallaSupermassive - A combo reverb and delay plug-in that sounds quite big.

UnplugRed - A collection of various interesting VSTs, most of which have free versions.

Chowdhury DSP - I can't personally speak for all of these but their tape model effect is great for some lo-fi style effects.

TAL-Chorus-LX - A thick sounding chorus, good for "retro" sounds too.

Polyverse Wider - A great effect for widening sounds up, really simple too with only two controls.

Freesound - A good audio file resource, mainly for foley recordings.

Cymbatics Dubstep Starter Pack - A little sample pack with some good drum and synth samples.

fishmonger drum kit - A pack of samples from the album 'fishmonger' by Underscores!

WangleLine's sample packs - Free samples put out by my awesome mutual WangleLine!

aaand I might as well include this set of drums I made a while back :P

Ed Flis AKA Duran Duran Duran made a little online synth for you to play with.

Description:

I built a little web-based instrument called Orbital Synth.

It’s a generative ambient synth where the sound engine is visualized as a tiny solar system:

each planet is its own oscillator / voice

the position of planets represents their placement in the stereo field

moons act as modulators for their parent planet

there’s a global scale mode so everything can snap to musical notes and scales

each planet can also switch into its own note mode

there are global controls for things like reverb, cosmos/ambient bed, and orbit speed

I’ve been experimenting with giving different planets their own visual identity, so some of them now have more detailed procedural surfaces

This month Second coming album turns 16 years anniversary This was a big inspiration for us and for the rest witch house old school artists. ///

For us, this was the most iconic album in the genre history. Marks that decade and the true essence of witch house sound. "Exorcism of the Hippies" was the first track i listened on 2010.

Hey everyone, I could once again use some help. Today is Bandcamp Friday and I am offering my whole discography for a reasonable price. Of course, you're also welcome to buy anything you want individually as well.

Work for my partner has still been scarce and I am paying for rent, bills, and medical debt pretty much by myself. It's taken a toll on my finances at a time of the year when being in this predicament is the worst.

If you're not up for buying music, you can also just send me fûnds. I'm Leperwitch on V3nmo and C4sh4pp. Anything helps! Thanks so much in advance 💖
