FANTASTiC | 30 April 2021 | 5 MB

Crime Fundamentals is a dark and cinematic soundset of 188 patches for u-he’s Zebra 2 software synthesizer inspired by shows like Marcella (Lorne Balfe), Blacklist (Dave Porter), Broadchurch (Ólafur Arnalds) or The Sinner (Ronit Kirchman) and also the works of John Powell (Bourne Series) or James Newton-Howard (Parkland). Designed with the crime drama genre in mind. Scoring a crime show or thriller movie asks for a vast range of styles and emotions. There is mystery, suspense and tension, sadness and despair but also hope and relief. There is murder, investigation, suspicion, interrogation, action, drama and the always ticking clock in a race against time. Crime Fundamentals gives you a great set of tools to cover every aspect of a story in your work as a film composer. You will find deep and thumbing basses, disturbed and emotional pads, simple and effective pulses, dark drones, quirky keys and mallets as well as a vast array of driving tickys to keep up the pace.

Zebra Kuroshio ZEBRA 2

FANTASTiC | 29 April 2021 | 1 MB

Zebra Kuroshio is a collection of 120 brand new cinematic patches for u-he’s acclaimed Zebra2 synthesizer. Drawing inspiration from the work of composers like Tyler Bates (John Wick), Kaae & Batz (Bordertown), Hans Zimmer (Dunkirk), John Powell (Jason Bourne) and Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (Watchmen), Zebra Kuroshio’s patches range from high-octane action to scandi noir drama to visceral psychological horror. Many patches in Zebra Kuroshio use multiple Zebra lanes, so you can mute the lanes you don’t need if a patch is too busy for your purposes, or if you just want to use the sound in a particular lane. Zebra Kuroshio also makes extensive use of the modulation wheel. In many cases, it may completely change the patch into something totally different, so we encourage you to have fun with it. Zebra Kuroshio includes NKSF versions of all its patches, with the proper tags for NKS devices. They do not have audio previews, though.

Zebra Nordsund: Snow H2P

DECiBEL | 21 Dec 2020 | 4.0MB

Collection of 360 patches for u-he’s Zebra2 and ZebraHZ. Nordsund II continues the legacy begun with original Nordsund, delivering the highest quality synth sounds, inspired by the music for the Nordic Noir film and television genre. Where Nordsund Blood and Gold featured a number of patches designed for season four of the Nordic Noir smash hit, The Bridge, Dusk and Snow have been designed from scratch for this release, building on and advancing the original ideas. Nordsund Dusk is all about the sound of night falling. The darkness providing cover for the secrets lurking in suburbia, criminals and their prey leaving the safety of their homes, downbeat detectives processing witnesses and suspects. Dark and brooding synthetic pulses and spaces. Nordsund Snow conveys the wide open splendour and horror of white, barren landscapes. Frozen enigmas, the dangers hidden, both man made and natural. Vendettas and mysteries, passed down through generations; the clash of cultures and fear of change, as the urban slowly encroaches on the wild. Icy, sparkling, animalistic and intense hybrid-organic synthesis.

Zebra Nordsund: Blood H2P

DECiBEL | 22 Dec 2020 | 3.8 MB

..:: Dark Edition ::..

Zebra Nordsund: Blood is a collection of 300 patches for u-he Zebra2 and ZebraHZ. Nordsund is designed to capture the atmosphere and the darkness of Nordic Noir. The patches were created during bespoke sound design sessions I was doing for the fourth season of Swedish/Danish detective drama, The Bridge. Brooding detectives, cold nights, complex murders, achingly beautiful scenery and sophisticated urban design: Nordsund reflects the sonic landscape of one of the most cutting edge and thrilling European TV series. Grinding basses, industrial textures, silky pads, unstable sequences, tense percussion; Nordsund blends uneasy, moody analogue with dark, taut organic vibes for an authentic slice of melancholy Scandinavian tones. There are a number of time signatures represented in the basslines, synth sequences and drumloops to allow you to build up suspenseful, syncopated tracks. Plus, as always, care has been taken to provide extra dynamic tonal control via the modwheel and the X/Y pads.
