Wind Craft

'Wind Craft' by Hzandbits features artificially designed wind crafted from mechanical contraptions, physical props and noise from analog synths. The goal was to explore wind sounds as something made-up and performed. Inspiration came from old cartoons and from Hzandbits' many recordings of real wind.
 
  • Universal Category System (UCS) Wind Craft Play Track 93 sounds included, 96 mins total $38

    Wind Craft is 96 minutes / 1.8 GB of designed wind sound effects.
    93 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz. All sounds are UCS-compatible.

    Wind Craft features artificially designed wind sound effects done the old way: crafted using mechanical contraptions, physical props and noise from analog synths.
    The goal was to explore wind sounds as something made-up and performed. Inspiration came from old cartoons, and from elements of the many recordings of real wind, I have made in the past. From noisy pitch-modulated whooshes, to whistles, moans and overtones – all of which sometimes occur naturally around objects and openings hit by wind.

    The star of the collection is a replica of the type of wind machine used in theaters and in old cartoons: a hand-cranked cylinder fitted with wooden slats, rotating against a piece of canvas. It is a very recognizable sound, but it took some trial and error getting the construction, the canvas, and the performance right. Gave me even more respect for the sound designers of Olde.

    Further explorations in the possibilities of friction were done with mattresses, carpet tiles, metal springs and various types of cloth. All yielded quite interesting material.

    Other sounds were performed by blowing through organ pipes and flutes, as well as other props that would cause interesting turbulence.

    Finally, I experimented with the noise sources of analog synths, filtering them by hand, as well as by side-chaining cutoff and resonance to the envelopes of real wind recordings.

    Some of these sounds come close to something realistic, but most take several artistic freedoms to what wind could sound like.

    Northern Italy was recorded in July 2019 (pre-Covid), and features ambiance recordings from just outside the small village of Entratico, near Bergamo, Italy. This is hill-country, with meandering gravel-roads, small farms, sheep-bells and lots of crickets. In fact, in this terrain, insects seem to be the only sound sources which are always near. Everything else, from dogs and roosters, to church-bells and airplanes, seems always to be distant. Lots of laid-back rural atmosphere here.

    Crickets are quite a dominant feature in these recordings, and there are several variations recorded both day & night. Some are quite loud (the ones with “LOUD” in the file names), so be careful with playback.

    This collection features a variety of locations in and around the small tourist town of Unawatuna, on the southern-most end of the island. The area is mix of small boutique hotels and private guest-houses, low-rise residential housing and small shops. Traffic is dominated by old busses and trucks, as well as mopeds and Tuk-tuks (basically a three-wheeled motorized rickshaw).

    Animals heard include different birds, monkeys, dogs and squirrels during the day; and cicadas and frogs at night.

    Most locations are covered with different angles/takes, to provide enough variation of the material to build a scene around. Included are several drive-bys of various vehicles.

Sri Lanka Ambiances II

'Sri Lanka Ambiances II' by Hzandbits was recorded on the same trip as volume 1, but it takes us inland, to the mountain town of Ella, and the larger city of Kandy. It features a distinct train snaking through the mountains, distant loudspeaker “chants” during a full moon holiday, and more!

    Sri Lanka Ambiances II was recorded in 2017 on the same trip that resulted in Sri Lanka Ambiances 1. This collection takes us inland, to the mountain town of Ella, and the larger city of Kandy.

    Ella has some distinctive sounds; not least the train snaking it’s way slowly through the mountains, it’s whistle reverberating between them. I also recorded distant distant loudspeaker “chants” or recitals, which, as far as I could gather, was a part of the Poya-days – a Sri Lankan full moon holiday.

    Another personal highlight is the recording of an office clerk working an old-school mechanical typewriter behind the blinds of a small office in Kandy.

    All in all, here are plenty of general Sri Lankan ambiances featuring traffic, barking dogs, tweeting birds and buzzing insects, as well as bits and pieces of walla.

    Rather than the ultimate full-coverage of this particular vehicle, this is focused on the experience of riding the APE50 Tuk-Tuk.

 
THE WORLD’S EASIEST WAY TO GET INDEPENDENT SOUND EFFECTS:
 
A Sound Effect gives you easy access to an absolutely huge sound effects catalog from a myriad of independent sound creators, all covered by one license agreement - a few highlights:

  • The China: Temple Bells & Crowds sound library was recorded in two locations. The first within the Yungang Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site from the Wei Dynasty era, and the second, an ancient Taoist temple built in the Tang Dynasty in the outskirts of Beijing.

    The library includes recordings of large prayer bells, Buddhist wind chimes, wooden wishing sticks adorned with twinkling bells, background and foreground crowd walla in Mandarin, Chinese, birds, and other ambient sounds captured on location in stereo. We’ve also included some bonus designed sounds made from the recordings.

    These authentic recordings offer a sonic window into the atmosphere of ancient Chinese temples and shrines as they exist today. The sounds can be useful for adding realism to cinematic, game, or multimedia projects requiring an accurate representation of this cultural setting, or as fodder for creating mystical and spiritual designs.

  • Animal Sound Effects Animal Hyperrealism Vol III Play Track 1711 sounds included $136

    Animal Hyperrealism Vol III is a library containing sounds themed animal vocalisations, from real to designed creatures totaling more than 1700 individual sounds in 279 files.

    The sounds were recorded in zoos and wildlife centers. The asset list includes but is not limited to: european red deers, monkeys, reindeers, hornbills camels, crickets, tamarins, boars, frogs, red ruffed lemurs, parrots, and many more.

    The content has been recorded at 192KHz with a Sanken CO100K plus a Sennheiser 8050 for center image and a couple of Sennheiser MKH8040 for stereo image.
    Part of the cheats section of the library features samples recorded at 384KHz. For these sounds an additional microphone was employed, specifically the CMPA by Avisoft-Bioacoustics which records up to 200 KHz. This microphone was used to record most of the library but the 384KHz format was preserved only where energy was found beyond 96KHz not to occupy unnecessary disk space.
    All files are delivered as stereo bounce of these for mics, though in some instances an additional couple of CO100K was added to the sides.
    The resulting ultrasonic spectrum is rich and allows for truly extreme manipulation of the content.

    Bonus: Two extra libraries included for free:
    This library also includes two additional releases from Mattia Cellotto - for free: Crunch Mode delivers 230 crunchy sounds made with a variety of vegetables, fresh bread, pizza crust and a selection of frozen goods. The Borax Experiment gets you 158 squishy, gory, slimy and gooey sounds.
