Sound effects libraries highlighted in this episode:

Environments & Ambiences Pipe in a Lava Field Play Track 392 sounds included, 154 mins total $12

I found a very long disused bore hole in the middle of an Icelandic lava field. I dropped rocks down it, poured water into it, vocalised into it, stroked a rasp file on a plastic bottle stuck into the top of it and other experiments.

The results were insane metallic echoes, delays and reflections.

Unique source material for sound designers and experimental sounds for musical composition

392 single files and 55 grouped files for easy reference.

Files are stamped with UCS compliant metadata in Soundminer

Electricity Sound Effects Volt – Electromagnetic Fields Play Track 1833 sounds included $59
SUPERCHARGE YOUR PROJECTS WITH VOLTAGE
Around us there is an inaudible dimension of sound generated by human technologies and machines. We have captured these electromagnetic fields and present you VOLT, a versatile tool or designing electric sounds with extrem manipulation options. Create energetic movements, sci-fi elements, futuristic engines and weapons, massive impacts or use the sounds as a resource for UI design and the layering of complex ambiences.

This collection brings you 26,76GB of sounds including more than 1800 sfx of electromagnetic recordings as well as pre-designed risers, stingers, drones, user interface sounds and whooshes. You also get a huge toolkit section with loops and oneshots for crafting your own sounds from scratch, optimized for a smooth workflow in samplers like S-Layer.

AN ELECTRIFYING SOURCE OF INSPIRATION
Our sound hunt took us through extensive recordings of screens, household devices, smartphones, computers, car ignitions and interiors, motors, lights, fuseboxes, synthesizers and much more using a Soma Ether stereo setup and a LOM Elektrouši with a Sound Devices Mix-Pre 6 recorder. The stereo recordings of the Soma Ether often result in a dynamic panorama with unique signals on each channel. Since electromagnetic fields extend to very high frequencies, we recorded the sounds in 192khz so you have the full spectrum and potential to let your creativity run wild and design something entirely new.
