Dark Sounds Suite.
Orakle is inspired by desolate landscapes and ancient aesthetics, by combining arcane instruments and techniques from medieval, nordic, and pan-Asian musical cultures. Our curated suite of strings, percussion, voices, and more blend together to forge a vast unique cinematic soundscape - enhanced by our multidimensional Sound Sculpture audio engine MNDALA 2.
The Story of Oracle
Performed by award-winning multi-instrumentalist composer Brian D'Oliveira, and drawing from decades of experience gained during our award-winning film and video-game productions, Orakle features Medieval & Eastern-inspired performance methods as well as unconventional extended techniques. Each note is a unique performance brought to life within Orakle, ready for you to sculpt.Ranging from our powerful Tibetan Horns and Giant Concert Bass Drum to the grating wails of the Turkish Kabak Kemane and Treble Viola Da Gambas, Orakle creates a distinctly dark atmosphere. Our sampling approach comes from our desire to share something unconventionally interesting. Enhanced and transformed within our MNDALA 2 Engine, allows you to explore countless sonic pathways of dynamic sound design with these rare instruments.

Our approach to creating revolutionary instruments
Continuous play and the pushing of creative boundaries are foundational to our instrument creation process. Rather than trying to recreate true-to-life instruments, we choose to experiment and go off the beaten track, in search of a new kind of virtual instrument.
Inspired by the natural world and ancient knowledge from around the world, we embrace expressive (im)perfections. Performing and recording instruments using experimental methods to create sounds like you’ve never heard before.
From our bespoke extreme-quality recording method using ultrasonics, to our constant experimentation with unique workflows and sound sources, each Instrument we release is a playable manifestation of our exploratory journey.
During our sampling process, the subtleties and imperfections of live human performance are embraced and encouraged. Depending on the final intent, we will creatively post-process as little or as much as needed (sometimes beyond recognition), always making sure that the soul and character of the performance is intact once it’s been implemented as one of our expressive playable instruments.
