🌑 Cinematique Instruments – Nordic Noir

Step into the cold, unnerving world of Nordic Noir — a haunting cinematic sound library designed for film composers, game sound designers, and ambient producers. Filled with dystopian drones, eerie textures, and dark atmospheres, this collection transforms your music into a chilling psychological experience.

Born from real TV horror scoring sessions, Nordic Noir captures the essence of fear through sound. Every texture whispers unease, every drone breathes tension — turning silence into suspense.

💀 Crafted from Real Cinematic Horror

Inspired by two terrifying TV movie scores, Cinematique Instruments built a one-of-a-kind instrument — The Eerie Board — made from rusty springs, bent metal, and wired pickups.

⚡ Every strike, scrape, and vibration was processed through layers of effects, transforming raw metal into emotionally unstable electricity — a sound that feels alive, unpredictable, and deeply human.

This is not just sound design — it’s cinematic storytelling through tension.
