Animal Hyperrealism IV Is Here!
The Nighttime Nature Library

'The Nighttime Nature Library' by Pole Position Production will immerse you in the sounds of the Swedish countryside at night. It features 22 recordings of birdsong, from the hushed chirps of evening to the gradual increase in bird activity into a vibrant chorus as dawn breaks.
 
Abandoned Oil Tank

'Abandoned Oil Tank' by Katrine Amsler lets you explore an abandoned oil tank in Denmark. With intriguing long reverb and low-frequency resonances from the giant wires inside, it offers a chance to experience the haunting beauty of an unusual location before it was demolished.
 
  • Cinematic & Trailer Sound Effects Abandoned Oil Tank Play Track 327 sounds included $50

    On a recording trip to the smaller Danish port town Struer, I came across an abandoned empty oil tank. Inside I found two giant wires attached to the floor and the ceiling of the tank, almost like a huge 2 stringed double bass. I’m telling you the reverb in there was longer than the Eiffel Tower on a cloudless day !

    On the outside this was just an empty abandoned building, but it turned out it was not empty at all because it was full of sound and a few dead birds. I’m glad I was curious enough to go inside for a closer investigation and not just pass by.

    After several hours of concentrated recording, it was nice to get my ears back out in dry air. I’m happy there are no open sends to Valhalla in real life but experiencing the eternal resonance on the low frequencies from the wires was absolutely amazing.

    Abandoned Oil Tank was recorded with a LOM basic Ucho stereo pair, a Zoom H6 and the LOM Geofon. All files are in 96 kHz/24 bit and contain the original recordings.

    The result is a unique sound effect library including balloon pop impulse responses from a truly unique location that very recently became even more unique since word says that the oil tank is no more and has abandoned this world.

    327 individual sounds – all tagged with Universal Category System (UCS) metadata.

Zody

'Zody' by Eiravaein Works LLC captures the delightful sounds of babies throughout their first year. It features a range of vocalizations, from giggles and cries to babbling and coos recorded at various stages of development, as well as essentials like strollers, toys, and more.
 
  • Human Sound Effects Zody Play Track 1243+ sounds included, 151 mins total $38

    With abounding character and a penchant for speaking their mind, these little folk always have a lot to say. Wonder and amazement naturally follows.

    Having the honor to be able to observe these tikes in their natural habitats, it became clear how babies share a great deal across their mannerisms as the grow. A longitudinal family of vocalizations and sounds that span the first year of life and maturity, the heart of this library, centers on those personalities and mannerisms changing and taking shape over that period of time. The little ones have been recorded at infancy, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year old. Each of these developmental milestones mark a significant step forward for all babies and at these stages their personalities and expressiveness grow remarkably. It is the constantly evolving language of exploration and examination; always learning. Each vocalization in this library, even within the same stage of development, is unique. From giggles to shouts, questioning to cries, babbles, cooing, and inventive phrases all the way around.

    Additionally, strollers, toys, diaper bags, bottles, pumps, swings, and more have been captured as compliments to represent all of those ubiquitous items in a baby’s world. The strollers were profiled on different surfaces and from different mechanical perspectives. The toys were recorded both in-play and as Foley. Bottles and diapers were used in their normal function and fashion, while other tools and devices of the dedicated and savvy parent were selected for their sound and utility.

    Joyfulness is easy to hear in this library.

Vaeyan V

'Vaeyan V' by Eiravaein Works LLC is the final chapter of this series that goes beyond the ordinary, offering a wild mix of sounds captured over several years. From everyday appliances to unusual experiments and even the sounds of sleep (human and canine!), it provides a treasure trove of unique audio elements.
 
  • Environments & Ambiences Vaeyan V Play Track 1133+ sounds included, 809 mins total $26

    Rounding out our set of libraries that gather beautiful offcuts from many a field recording expedition, our 5th and final installment of our variety SFX series, Vaeyan V is bigger, wilder, and more diverse than its predecessors. Recorded over a several year period, you’ll find everything from superposition array on common appliances to wacky experiments with unlikely materials. Fantastic captures of human sleeping habits (and some dogs as well), alongside of lively automated car washes and mics snuck into melodic bundles of twisted metal. And of course, a few peculiar off-beat ambience recordings as well.

    As with Vaeyan IIIIII, and IV, this is a huddling of field recordings and sound designs that do not quite form a library on their own. However, together they make up an audio FX treasure chest gleaming with precious audio loot. Dig in!
