When a scene demands more than just a standard orchestral bed, composers often look for sounds that feel grounded, tactile, and perhaps a bit unsettling. Eduardo Tarilonte’s Dark ERA isn't just another collection of samples; it’s a toolkit designed to bring the raw, unpolished atmosphere of the Viking age and ancient pagan rituals into your DAW.
From the resonant, wooden creak of a Tagelharpa to the sharp, metallic strike of an anvil, every sound in this library was captured to retain its physical grit. Whether you are scoring a historical drama, building a dark ambient track, or adding organic layers to a modern trailer, Dark ERA provides the character that synthetic libraries often lack.
The library features over 50 recorded instruments. The string section includes the bowed Tagelharpa and Crwth, alongside plucked lyres and lutes, all captured with multiple articulations like true legato and round-robin samples for natural performances. The wind section is equally diverse, offering everything from bone flutes and the haunting Fujara to massive war horns that carry a weight you can almost feel.
The percussion in Dark ERA goes beyond standard drums. You’ll find shamanic frame drums with deep, thumping lows, as well as unique textures made from bones, antlers, and stones. To tie it all together, the vocal section features authentic throat singing and Inuit-inspired rhythms. These aren’t just loops; they are playable tools that allow you to build custom vocal beds and ritualistic chants that respond to your arrangement.
Beyond individual instruments, Dark ERA includes over 100 programmed soundscapes and rhythmic pads. These textures are built to evolve, using multiple layers that you can mix and pan within the Engine Player. Because everything is tempo-synced, these atmospheric elements lock perfectly to your project, making it easy to establish a mood without spending hours on sound design.
Authentic ancient textures are rarely this accessible. Whether you are composing for film, games, or experimental music, Dark ERA offers a palette of sounds that feel alive and ancient.
