DESCRIPTION:
• In Pacific Northwest: Wind get an expansive collection of coniferous wind from the pristine wilderness of the Eastern Cascades, Washington. Hear the soothing wind of short needled Douglas fir and Spruce. Hear gentle whisps topping distant ridge tops and blustery 50 mph blasts swinging the forest in a wandering dance. Hear the austere emptiness of recently burned forest and eerie creaks so emotional it sounds like the old trees are talking.
• This library offers a large collection of coniferous canopy wind. I hope you enjoy the sounds of this winter wonderland.
2% FOR THE ENVIRONMENT & CARBON NEUTRAL:
• Two percent of the price of this library is donated to an environmental cause, as an “artist royalty” for the planet!
• Carbon offset credits were purchased to offset my field recording travel for this library.
KEY FEATURES:
• Zero birds, insects, or other wildlife in all recordings
• Emotional creaks, squeals, stutters, and groans
• Winds ranging from gentle gusts too blustery 50 mph blasts
• Coniferous canopy wind in living forests of Douglas fir and Spruce.
• Short-needle coniferous wind. The length of the foliage determines the pitch of the wind. Therefore, the short needles of Douglas fir creates wind with a higher pitch than Ponderosa pine with its much longer needles.
• Post wildfire wind. After the fire, only the tree trunks remain, creating deep eerie roars.
• Soothing gusts cresting distant ridgetops.
