If you love horror and thriller movies, you all must be familiar with all the eerie sounds those get you goosebumps and chills your bone to the core. Have you ever wondered where all those sounds came from? 

The instrument is called the Apprehension Engine. It looks and sounds as unorthodox as you can imagine.

Mark Koven is a Toronto based composer for film and television, This guy has been scoring horror movies and he got tired of using digital suspense samples. He came up with an idea of making an instrument that will produce organic eerie sounds, playable and actually sounds good.

Watch how we utilize the Apprehension Engine for "MATA BATIN" Movie Soundtrack:

Apprehension Engine is built with unconventional elements you won't see on your very conventional bass, drum, guitar, and piano. This instrument is built with bowed metal rulers, cool spring reverbs, metal rods, and other crazy stuff to make the scariest sounding instrument on the planet.
