With Dark ERA,\u00a0Eduardo Tarilonte<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 the master of mystical sounds \u2013 leads us back into the\u00a0dark age\u00a0<\/strong>where\u00a0legends\u00a0<\/strong>were born and where old northern gods still determined the fate of mankind. This library allows you to discover sounds to which the\u00a0vikings\u00a0<\/strong>and other already\u00a0forgotten cultures<\/strong>\u00a0and tribes<\/strong>\u00a0were celebrating and singing their myths.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0fascinating sound\u00a0<\/strong>of Dark ERA ranges from the transcendental drones of the ancient\u00a0stringed-harp\u00a0<\/strong>Tagelharpa\u00a0<\/strong>to the unmatched grace of the\u00a0gut-stringed Lyre<\/strong>\u00a0to the distinctive and characteristic sound of the Nordic bone\u00a0flutes<\/strong>\u00a0and the overtone flute\u00a0Fujara<\/strong>. Goose bumps are guaranteed with the sound of\u00a0war horns<\/strong>\u00a0such as the wooden Lur, thunderous mighty\u00a0percussion<\/strong>, a full ensemble of\u00a0frame-drums<\/strong>\u00a0as well as\u00a0mystical throat chants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

These instruments are complemented by an\u00a0impressive collection<\/strong>\u00a0of pulsating\u00a0pads\u00a0<\/strong>and atmospheric\u00a0soundscapes\u00a0<\/strong>which evolve over longer periods. These\u00a0unique sounds<\/strong>\u00a0ensure that Dark ERA can clearly be regarded as the next masterpiece created\u00a0by Eduardo Tarilonte<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Instruments<\/h4>\n

Dark ERA offers\u00a0more than 50 instruments<\/strong>\u00a0consisting with over 20,000 samples. The library contains seven string instruments, 17 wind instruments and 33 drums and percussion. In order to maximize playability,\u00a0several play techniques<\/strong>\u00a0have been recorded and made available in the library respectively our powerful cross-platform compatible sample-player Engine. The wind instruments offer\u00a0different articulations\u00a0<\/strong>as well as\u00a0true legato<\/strong>. In addition, the flutes provide some really unusual and haunting effect sounds.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the string instruments offer round robin samples for notes being picked in up and down directions. The plucked instruments were recorded with different play techniques such as using a plectrum, fingers or being strummed.<\/p>\n

    The instrument collection is complemented by more than\u00a0one hundred programmed soundscapes<\/strong>. These are partially rhythmically animated to pulsate in sync with the current tempo or to create unreal atmospheres using complex sound textures. These textures consist of several elements which can be adjusted in level and panning to your liking in the mixer page of Engine.<\/p>\n

    \"DarkTo support the sound rhythmically,\u00a0dedicated Epic Loops<\/strong>\u00a0have been designed. These consist of up to 20 instruments and up to 16 separate elements which can all be individually adjusted, allowing to flexibly arrange beats. Available are four variations for each main loop, different fills and endings (ensemble and single hits) as well as a pulsating sound matching the rhythm. The loops will automatically adapt to the tempo of your DAW.<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0rhythmic pads<\/strong>\u00a0containing melodic as well as rhythmic elements gap the bridge between drums and solo instruments. Just as for the soundscapes, the individual pad elements can be individually be panned and mixed.<\/p>\n

    Another specialty of Dark ERA is the vocal section.\u00a0Vocal rhythms, being inspired by the Inuit<\/strong>, can be constructed and arranged from single notes. 24 MIDI-files serve as templates which trigger and play the individual shouts. Of course, the rhythms can be edited or even be created from scratch.<\/p>\n

    The throat singing recordings have been divided into four styles. It is also possible to add harmonics using a dedicated slider. Shaman ritual chants and sole vocals add liveliness and authentic elements to the music.<\/p>\n

    Who is it for?<\/h4>\n

    This library is the perfect instrument for movie soundtracks and television documentaries covering corresponding topics. At the same time, the library is equally suited for historical music productions as well as for ambient music. In addition, it provides suitable stylish background music for games within this setting.<\/p>\n

    The Recordings<\/h4>\n

    The stringed and wind-instruments as well as some of the drums being used for this library have been\u00a0handmade<\/strong>\u00a0by the master instrument maker Benjamin Simao\u00a0<\/strong>. The instruments were performed by :<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Benjamin Simao: String Instruments, Shamanic Drums, Tympanum Romano<\/li>\n
    • Iv\u00e1n Carl\u00f3n: Wind Instruments<\/li>\n
    • Adal Fern\u00e1ndez del Castillo: Percussion<\/li>\n
    • Mois\u00e9s P\u00e9rez: Throat and Overtone Singing, Vocal Rhythms<\/li>\n
    • Joaquim Manj\u00f3n: Overtone Singing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      During recording of the skin drums, special focus was paid to a full sounding, powerful bass while retaining punch. You can almost feel the sticks hitting the skins. This sound character will be preserved during the mix \u2013 present and powerful. In addition, the metallic percussion instruments, including an anvil and horseshoes, sound piercing and fierce.<\/p>\n

      \"EldanaSonically, Dark ERA is fully compatible to the other libraries of the ERA-series since it has again been\u00a0recorded by Jorge Calder\u00f3n Muriel in the Eldana Studio<\/strong>\u00a0in Spain, using highest quality equipment such as the Kahayan 4K7 microphone and 12K72 preamp. The instruments have been close mic\u2019ed in order to capture all details and to provide a direct sound experience which can be flexibly edited and shaped in all directions by external tools.<\/p>\n
