Celtic ERA 2 proves to be not only the perfect instrument collection for film scores and TV documentaries about the Emerald Isle, but also for composers that want to add unique and high quality sounds to their music.
The Engine
Celtic ERA 2 transports the sounds of the high north, into today’s DAW-based production environment. Composing with this library becomes incredibly simple thanks to a carefully and elegant user interface, enabling musicians to be fully inspired by the sounds.
Who is it for?
Celtic ERA 2 can be used for a wide range of musical projects and genres. Its spectrum ranges from traditional scoring with authentic sounds, to fantasy games, movie soundtracks, and new age music.
The sounds of Celtic ERA 2 are completely unique and cannot be found in any other library. The outstanding selection of instruments, the MIDI-patterns and soundscapes provide you with an extensive collection with no sound left to be desired.
The Recording
The recordings for Celtic ERA 2 were made in Eldana Studios in Spanish Dueñas. All instruments were played by superb musicians from the Irish music scene:
Eduardo Tarilonte, the creator of this library, single-handedly played the Concertinas and Celtic Harps while the four historical instruments were performed by Abraham Cupeiro.
All instruments were recorded using selected Kahayan U47 Mics & Preamps as well top-notch Ribbon Mics. Micing was carried out intentionally close and thus without room detail.
This procedure offers full control over the subsequent sculpting of the sounds and effects. Therefore, the sounds of Celtic ERA 2 can be combined with Eduardo Tarilonte’s others libraries without any difficulty.
