Tenebrae-LE is the free version of the full artist-instrument, Tenebrae.
LA-based artist Joseph Holiday creates apocalyptic electronic visions (affectionately described as ‘Death Beats’) under the moniker SNAKES OF RUSSIA. His singular sound weaves together textured modular synth patches with gritty drum samples, all slammed through destructive chains of unobtanium outboard and tape to create a unique world of darkness.
In Tenebrae-LE, the light edition of our first Artist Series instrument, Tenebrae. SNAKES OF RUSSIA opens a window to his personal Pandora’s Box, offering you a taste of the deep collection that has been curated from his distinctive sonic palette. We conceptualised Tenebrae, as an exhumed creature, buried for over a century and now resurfaced – bringing the dark dust from the depths of the earth. Transmuted through analog processing and tape; modular and analog synths, obscure bowed instruments and gritty percussion come together to bring the darkness in Tenebrae.

Tenebrae-LE was designed as a free introductory exploration into some of the sounds offered in the full Tenebrae. The collection of 11 sound sources was handpicked by SNAKES OF RUSSIA to be a diverse and useful palette for your creations with the included 21 presets also designed by the artist.
Enveloped in the essence of deep sonic exploration, this window into our collaboration with LA-based artist Joseph Holiday, alias SNAKES OF RUSSIA, delves into his dark, apocalyptic sound. In these texturally rich playable soundscapes, complex modular synth patches, heavy analog subs, and gritty drum samples converge, all intricately processed through chains of unobtanium outboard and tape, unleashing a unique world of dirt and darkness.
This free version of the inaugural entry into our Artist Series is a chasm into the depths of SNAKES OF RUSSIA’s distinctive sonic palette. Together we imagined Tenebrae not just as an instrument; but as an exhumed creature, buried for over a century and now resurfaced, bringing the dark mystery of the depths of the earth. Analog outboard processing and gritty tape infuse instant textural vibe into modular and analog synths, screeching bowed instruments, and noisy percussion, bringing forth the unique sonic darkness encapsulated within Tenebrae.
With creative processing being an essential part of the SNAKES OF RUSSIA sound, we also worked with Joseph to create two exclusive effect processors modeling his signature signal chains: BESTIAE (destructive Filters, Drive, and Compression in either parallel or series), and DIRTY BUCKETS (a series of gritty Bucket Brigade Delay based reverbs), allowing you to shape the sound dynamically in real time. Within this free version, the effects are available in the included presets but can not be added to new user presets. Full access to these exclusive effects is enabled in the full version of Tenebrae.
