Aeterna is a scoring library for worlds shaped by dread, grandeur, and ruin. This is music for moments when the landscape itself feels hostile. For epic confrontations, terrifying open environments, unspeakable enemies, and the atmosphere of a world that was once magnificent, now fallen.

This first volume draws on orchestral strings and fractured brass motifs, deep bass swells, analogue synth textures, and environmental ambience designed to unsettle and get under the listener's skin. Pieces range from slow building tension to sudden orchestral confrontation. Some sit below the surface; like the quiet before for the storm. Others are all-out final boss fights and tyranny. 

Every track is designed to give you maximum flexibility to use cues as they are or take them apart and rebuild inside your own sessions.

CRAFTED WITH EVERY TOOL & TALENT

We create our catalogue embracing the combination of live musicianship, AI, live ensemble performance, synths, VSTis and hardware synths in whatever way the music demands. Every track is shaped by deliberate creative decisions with one concern only: to create the best sounding music we can for your projects. Stems are included with every pack and are AI-separated from the master recordings. Delivered wet with the original reverbs, compression, and effects intact, they carry a distinct character and spatial depth that makes them particularly useful for producers and composers looking for melodic, processed or textural source material to layer and reshape within their own sessions.

Drone Maker VST Bundle

Best buy of the year

Easily the best money I have spent on a sample library this year. It has paid for itself twice over already.

Callum S. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Fantasy and medieval sounds as one

It's old and new, and medieval and fantasy sound in one plugin - perfect for my projects!

Ruth A. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Rare combination

Beautifully designed, both the sound and the interface. That is a rarer combination than it should be and while some people could say the art is a gimmick, for me it just boosts the inspiration.

Response from the team

Really appreciate that, Fin.

Fin D. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Sounds expensive

It sounds expensive, which is the highest compliment I can give a library.

Alex J. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Huge and controllable

The samples are enormous and the FX give you proper control over them. I could drone on forever… !

Ines M. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Dangerous for deadlines

Genuinely dangerous for my deadlines. I open it to check one sound and lose two hours.

Taylor B. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Constant starting point

The sounds in this thing are so good for inspiration. It has become my default starting point when the page is blank.

Nico F. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Does one thing perfectly

It does one thing and does it better than anything else I have tried - inspiration galore!. I would happily have paid double.

Erin M. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Whole cues from one patch

Perfect for scoring work. I have pulled entire cues out of a single patch - always get’s me writing

Jules R. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Great sounds, slight learning curve

Took me an evening to work out what everything actually did, but once it clicked I was pulling sounds out of it that I cannot get anywhere else. Worth pushing through the first session.

Martina P. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Usable straight out of the box

It looks incredible and every preset is usable as it is. I have hardly needed to tweak anything.

Hannah V. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Unique and stunning

One of the most unique instruments in my collection, and the artwork is honestly stunning. It feels like an object rather than a plugin.

Kwame A. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Replaced three plugins

This quietly replaced three plugins on my effects bus as they’re built in here. Cleaner sessions and a more creativity to boot

Isla C. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Deep but fast for songwriting

Deep enough to lose an afternoon in, simple enough to dial in while someone is sat behind me waiting.

Marco D. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

The sounds are the one!

The modulation and the otherworldly soundsis what sold me. I have not found anything else that’s both medieval and fantasy in this way

Sam G. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Past and future in one

It’s not a ERA 2 or super high end library for authentic medieval instrument sound with loads of articulations but it’s got some impressive sonic capabilities and more importantly for me it makes me writes tracks - which the others don’t always do!

Owen B. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

One chord and I was writing

Very good. Loaded it up, played one chord and immediately started writing. That basically never happens with a new plugin.

Response from the team

Love hearing this, thanks Dave.

Dave P. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

No notes

Lovely to look at, barely touches my CPU, and it sounds like medieval times. No notes.

Nadia K. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

First thing I reach for

I own a lot of libraries and this is the one I reach for first every single time when I need something a bit weird to jolt me out of a rut

Yuki T. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Every preset is a song

Every preset in here is a song waiting to happen. I have started three tracks this week just browsing.

Lena F. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Expansive sounds!

The sampled material is so characterful. You can hear the rooms in the reverb which is nice for an board effect. as well as having the expansive granular sound which is exactly what I wanted.

Rob M. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Sold on the sound, kept for the look

Worth it for the sound alone, but honestly the artwork is what pushed me over the line.

Chris W. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

The flutter is perfect

The wow and flutter is the most convincing I have used, and the interface makes it fun to push rather than fiddly.

Amara O. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Now part of my template

Bought this for one project and now it sits on every template. That is the highest praise I can give! The arps are my go to. And man! That artwork is stunning.

Ben K. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Brilliant, with one small wish

Sounds fantastic and the artwork is a huge part of why I bought it. Only reason it is not five stars is that I would love a few more percussion patches in there. Everything else is spot on.

Greg W. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Goes on everything

I use this on modern pop and my cinematic work! t has a futuristic but ancient retro character which suits my producer style

Sofia L. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Effects are super ethereal!

On some presets it Sounds like a tape machine left out in the rain. Proper nice!

Tom H. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Make your own sounds

The presets are already decent but drop any old loop into the sample loader and it gives you back something you would never have written yourself. Brilliant for getting unstuck.

Jonas E. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Beautiful to use

The UI is genuinely gorgeous. The marginalia are so beautiful. I leave it open on my second screen just to look at it while I work.

Ellie R. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

On nearly every track since

Bought it on a whim and it has ended up on nearly every track since. The presets alone are worth the money.

Response from the team

Thanks Priya, so glad it earned a permanent slot.

Priya N. Verified buyer
Hark VST Founder’s Edition

Instant ideas

The artwork and the sounds in this thing are super good for inspiration. I opened it for five minutes and came out with a whole new project idea.

Marcus T. Verified buyer
Drone Maker VST Bundle

Super unique!

One of the most unique plugins in my collection, and it looks incredible too. I keep finding new corners of it!
