More InformationFor various international TV spots promoting SAW: Spiral, THVNDR crafted an original score built entirely from disturbing acoustic textures.
The custom soundscape fused bowed metal, detuned stringed instruments, and decaying wooden resonators, recorded, designed, and twisted into unnerving pulses, scrapes, and atmospheres.
The result was a visceral sonic bed that amplified the film’s psychological horror with raw, tactile fear. All sound design was created in-house by THVNDR using only organic source material.
