Why Mindful Audio stands out:

 
George Vlad has been recording pristine and immersive nature soundscapes for more than a decade. In 2015 he launched Mindful Audio so he could share his ever-increasing collection of recordings with audio professionals. He draws on his experience living and working in unforgiving conditions where he captures sounds that very few people have access to.

His quest to record and preserve these soundscapes has taken him to places like the Amazon, Congo and Borneo rainforests, Iceland, West Africa, the East African savanna, the Southern African bush, the Ethiopian highlands, an active volcano, the hottest and most lifeless place on earth, and many others. Mindful Audio libraries come with extensive species lists and cover these beautiful environments in exquisite detail.

Beyond nature and wildlife, Mindful Audio offers vehicle, aircraft and sound design elements libraries.

    Eerie Forest is a collection of subtle ambiences recorded at night in dense forests in the regions of Transylvania and Moldova, Romania over two trips in Spring and Autumn 2017. The library features soft wind, distant hum, vegetation rustles, dogs barking at various distances, church bells tolling, a variety of owl species and other birds like ravens and woodcocks. All these elements are not foreground, but rather washed-out, echoey and atmospheric.

    Eerie Forest is not suitable for foreground sound elements as the recordings are very soft and subtle. Make sure you check out the demos before you purchase.

The planes have been recorded at a variety of distances, from close to relatively far away. As an added bonus, one of the P-51 Mustangs recorded had had its guns removed, which caused an awesome whistling sound every time it swooped down at a certain angle.

    African Jungle is a huge collection of unique ambiences recorded in Central Africa’s Congo Basin rainforests. To my knowledge, these are the first surround field recordings made in this area. Last year I spent a whole month off the grid, listening to and recording a variety of habitats at all times of day and night, at the height of the rainy season when birds are most vocal. It took me many days of travel to get to these places, from using trains, boats, cars and planes to hiking on foot in the jungle.

  • Nature & Countryside Ambiences African Desert Play Track 29+ sounds included, 227 mins total $171.60

    African Desert is a collection of immersive stereo soundscapes recorded in the remotest parts of the Namib desert. It covers a variety of locations, from sand dunes and canyons to desert pavement and rocky outcrops. Subjects include sand movement recorded with hydrophones, soft to medium wind blowing over the surface of the dunes, and insects, birds and reptiles creating a sparse ambience full of minute detail.

    The purpose of this collection is to portray the soundscape of the Namib desert in all its sparseness and beauty. Some of these recordings are not much more than very soft wind. A few of the included soundscapes feature sand being blown over the surface of dunes. There’s a variety of wildlife calls too, from insects like cicadas, crickets or flies to barking geckos and occasional birds. This is not a wildlife library though, as the focus is more on the lifeless beauty of this mostly barren landscape.

    Metal Atmosphere sound effects
    Materials & Texture Sound Effects Metal Atmosphere Play Track 29 sounds included, 120 mins total $78

    Metal Atmosphere is a collection of contact microphone recordings of wire fences vibrating in the wind.

    The library consists of 29 recordings ranging from 1 minute to over 10 minutes in length. These have been recorded by taping JrF contact microphones to wire fences and other structures through which sound travels easily.

    Most of the sounds are made by the wind “playing” the wires as a huge stringed instrument, while a few others are recordings of submerged wooden fences. The tone is generally dark, even menacing, bringing desolate spaces to mind.

    The sounds can be used as backgrounds even if they technically aren’t proper ambiences, as there is a certain degree of similarity between the two channels which creates a fake stereo field. About half of the files also include wind gusts and wind-specific dynamics which renders them easily identifiable as wind sounds, only with extra metal elements added. Additionally there are countless impacts, risers and swells included which can easily be cut out and used as spot effects. All files are recorded and mastered at 24/96 quality which makes them excellent sound design elements ripe for serious processing.

    In total, more than 2 hours of metal atmospheres and resonances from unique sources – tagged with comprehensive metadata.

    The library consists of 33 recordings ranging from 3 to 10 minutes in length, available both as stereo and surround.

    • Remote islands in the Danube Delta, the best preserved Delta in Europe
    • Swamps in Northern Romania, teeming with frogs and far away from civilization

    Ice Sound Effects Elements: Ice Play Track 1500 sounds included, 86 mins total $97.50

    Elements: Ice is a collection of ice sounds recorded and edited over the 2015/2016 winter by George Vlad. The library is made up of more than 1500 individual ice sounds including cracks, creaks, hits, impacts, smashes, drags, stomps, splashes and water under ice ambience. The sounds have been recorded over more than 4 months in Romania and Scotland at temperatures ranging between -25C/-13F and 5C/41F.

    The library’s most obvious use is as Foley elements since it covers a wide variety of ice thicknesses and performances. As is the case with other libraries in the Elements series, these sounds can also be used for other purposes such as gore sweeteners, glass or wood cracks, bone breaks etc. Additionally, all files are recorded and mastered at 24/96 quality which makes them excellent sound design elements ripe for serious processing.

  • Destruction & Impact Sounds Volcano Play Track 13+ sounds included, 116 mins total $136.50

    MAFX019 Volcano is a collection of unique sounds recorded in Ethiopia’s Afar region at Erta Ale volcano. Erta Ale is one of only a handful of volcanoes with lava lakes in the world, situated in the Danakil Depression, one of the hottest and most inhospitable places in the world. The name means Smoking Mountain in the local Afarigna language and Erta Ale does not disappoint in this regard, as you can see in the video. This place is also known as the Gateway to Hell, an appropriate moniker given the 47C/117F temperatures and lots of dead fauna we encountered.

    Volcano sound effects library - mesmerizing soundscapes from Erta Ale caldera in Ethiopia

    There were only a few lava pits when the library was recorded but plenty of continuous and violent toxic gas releases. Occasionally the ground would move creating low frequency rumbles and debris falling. I had to use a long boompole in order to suspend my trusty MKH8060 over the edge and I improvised a spaced omni array by taping the MikroUsi mics to a video tripod ballhead. The expedition wasn’t 100% risk-free but it was more than worth it for these beautiful sounds.

  • Vehicle Sound Effects Comrade Tractor Play Track 6+ sounds included $97.50

    Comrade Tractor is a 5-channel recording of a Universal 650M tractor, designed in Soviet era Romania and virtually unchanged since the 1960s. Powered by a 4.8 liter Diesel engine, this beast hadn’t been started since 2004. I got to drive it for an hour and all I can say is it doesn’t go too fast but it growls like a tank.

What others are saying about Mindful Audio:

The primordial sounds captured by George Vlad in this library are a treasure trove of high quality otherworldly atmospheric ambiances which evoke powerful, raw emotions you’d be hard pressed to find in any other commercially available library. The applications are numerous, from the obvious barren twisted landscape of otherworldly planets, to the depths of hell, to starship bellows or chemical labs of evil masterminds, to subtle layering in otherwise common scenarios or for use in spellcraft or magic sound effects, these sounds will add an unique quality. The risks and costs of such an expedition cannot be understated and I’m very much grateful this library exists!
– Florian Ardelean – on the Volcano library

I have never been to Senegal, but if ever do get there I will be disappointed if it doesn’t sound like George’s recordings. Deep and rich choruses, with insects that stack like the instruments of an orchestra, George’s recordings never fail to impress or educate me.
– Andy Martin – on the African Wild West library

George Vlad’s reputation for recording pristine, unique and immersive ambiences is well known in the industry. Focusing on this particular library, one can only imagine the dedication, efforts and time spent in order to record such detailed Amazon soundscapes. You get various locations ranging from the forest floor all the way to some beautiful riversides. Each location is divided into several key moments of the day and night , giving you the complete sound DNA of a particular place.
Amazing Library all the way. Keep on traveling the world George!
– Tibo Csuko, on the Amazon Jungle library
