Best Service – Dark ERA (ENGINE 2)

With Dark ERA Eduardo Tarilonte – a master of mystical sounds – takes us back to the dark times, when legends were born and where the old northern gods still determine the fate of mankind. This library allows you to discover the sounds to which the Vikings and other forgotten cultures and tribes celebrated and chanted their myths.

The mesmerizing sound of Dark ERA ranges from the transcendental drone of Tagelharpa’s ancient string harp to the unsurpassed grace of a thin-string lyre and the characteristic sound of Scandinavian bone flutes and fujar overtone flute. Goosebumps are guaranteed by the sounds of battle horns such as wooden lur, thundering powerful percussion, full frame drum ensemble, as well as mystical throat chants.

These instruments are complemented by an impressive collection of pulsating pads and atmospheric soundscapes that evolve over longer periods of time. These unique sounds ensure that Dark ERA can be considered the next masterpiece created by Eduardo Tarilonte.
