Harmonic Tides

Textural Sound Design Samples

Harmonic Tides is an ethereal string library featuring cello and double bass harmonics, designed by Pierce Constanti for expressive and versatile film scoring. It offers lush textures and emotional swells ideal for modern arrangements and cinematic soundscapes.

The library has two core sound sources:

• Airy Textures: Layered cello harmonic glissandi, perfect for organic movement with four dynamic layers per key.

• Hollow Tones: Bowing the after-length of double bass strings for subtle tension and texture.

Close-mic’d performances and creative processing transform these orchestral instruments into lush pads, drones, and nuanced soundscapes. With dynamic layers and chromatic ranges, Harmonic Tides seamlessly blends into various mixes, offering detailed leads, rich textures, and atmospheric elements.
