DARK CITY 2
RE-IMAGINED 2026
Ruins • Atmospheres • Cinematic Textures • Modern Scoring
​
The city has changed. The darkness remains.
DARK CITY 2 returns as part of the Hollywood Audio Design Re-Imagined Cinematic Instruments Series — bringing one of our original cinematic collections into a completely redesigned Kontakt experience for today's composers, producers and visual storytellers.
Built around dark melodic phrases, brooding bass movement, atmospheric soundbeds, guitars, strings, percussion, rhythmic effects and evolving textures, DARK CITY 2 creates a world where tension and beauty exist side by side.
This is music for abandoned streets, distant skylines, fractured worlds and stories unfolding after everything has changed.
From subtle underscore and atmospheric tension to pulsing modern rhythms and dramatic cinematic sequences, DARK CITY 2 is designed to provide immediate inspiration for film, television, trailers, games, documentaries, advertising and contemporary music production.
​
RE-IMAGINED FOR 2026
The original DARK CITY 2 has been rebuilt with a completely new visual identity and streamlined Kontakt interface while preserving the character that made the original collection unique.
The redesigned interface puts five essential sound-shaping controls directly at your fingertips:
PHASER • ATMOSPHERE • VOLUME • LP FILTER • ECHO
Shape the loops from subtle and distant to dark, spacious, filtered and heavily atmospheric without interrupting the creative process.
