Shepard Tones


Eternal Risers

Shepard Tones is a powerhouse sound library dedicated to the hypnotic and cinematic phenomenon of Shepard Tones. With over 19GB of blockbuster-grade content, this collection delivers an unparalleled range of endlessly rising (or falling) sonic illusions that add tension, drama, and energy to any score or production.

Carefully crafted and organized, Shepard Tones features a wide palette: from organic and orchestral textures to pristine synth-based designs. Explore categories of looped tones, risers, and reversed variations each meticulously produced in multiple speeds (fast, medium, slow) to fit the tempo and atmosphere of your composition. For even more depth, unique six-octave risers continuously evolve within themselves, creating an infinite climb or descent that never resolves, yet always compels.

The Sound Labs collection pushes the concept further, with experimental and expressive tones that reshape the Shepard illusion into gritty falls, multi-dimensional effects, gated whooshes, and rhythmic or percussive hybrids.

Whether scoring film, producing electronic music, or building dramatic soundscapes, Shepard Tones offers a timeless tool to heighten suspense, amplify motion, and transform static moments into edge-of-your-seat intensity.
