MNTRA Instruments has announced the release of Tenebrae-LE, a free version of their upcoming full instrument Tenebrae. This new instrument is compatible with the free Mndala Engine. There is currently no expiry date for this deal, making it a great opportunity for music enthusiasts and producers to explore this new tool.

Tenebrae-LE is essentially a light version of MNTRA Instruments’ first Artist Series instrument. The instrument is created in collaboration with LA-based artist Joseph Holiday, who produces apocalyptic electronic visions under the moniker SNAKES OF RUSSIA. His unique sound combines textured modular synth patches with gritty drum samples, all processed through destructive chains of outboard and tape to create a distinctive world of darkness.
With Tenebrae-LE, users get a glimpse into Holiday’s personal Pandora’s Box. The instrument offers a taste of the deep collection that has been curated from his distinctive sonic palette. The full version of Tenebrae, which is set to release soon, is conceptualised as an exhumed creature, buried for over a century and now resurfaced. It brings the dark dust from the depths of the earth, transmuted through analog processing and tape.
The instrument includes a range of sounds from modular and analog synths, obscure bowed instruments to gritty percussion, all coming together to create the darkness in Tenebrae. This free version, Tenebrae-LE, is an opportunity to explore this unique sound world before the full instrument is released.
For those interested in exploring new sonic landscapes, the free Tenebrae-LE by MNTRA Instruments presents an opportunity to do so. As there is no stated expiry date for this deal, interested individuals are encouraged to take advantage of this offer at their earliest convenience.
