The Unfinished releases Zebra Nordsund

The Unfinished has released Zebra Nordsund, a collection of soundsets designed for u-he's Zebra2 and ZebraHZ synths.

Nordsund is designed to capture the atmosphere and the darkness of Nordic Noir. The patches were created during bespoke sound design sessions Matt Bowdler (The Unfinished) 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 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.

Developed in conjunction with composers Uno Helmersson and Patrik Andren, Nordsund provides a palette for discovering that Nordic vibe.

Nordsund is split into two collections: Blood and Gold. Gold provides more conventional, dramatic underscore synth sounds, useful in all contexts; whilst Blood contains more experimental, boundary pushing patches, with a more atonal, ominous feel.

The Dark Editions take the original Zebra patches and modifies and enhances them for ZebraHZ, creating a darker, more insidious and analogue feel.

Regular versions are £24.99 +VAT, with Dark Editions at £34.99 +VAT, and a Bundle of all four soundsets priced at £49.99 +VAT.
