Perched on the edge of the southern coast of Yogyakarta, Trisik Beach is a hidden gem known not just for its expansive black sand and serene views, but for the mesmerizing soundscape it offers. As dawn breaks or dusk settles, the rhythmic crash of the waves becomes a symphony of nature—raw, untamed, and deeply calming.
Recording the sound of the waves at Trisik Beach is an immersive experience. The ocean breathes with power, each surge rolling in with a thunderous roar, then receding with a soothing hiss as it drags along the sand. The coastal breeze hums gently, occasionally mixing with the distant calls of seabirds and the rustling of coconut palms lining the shore.
This sonic atmosphere is pure and profound—ideal for field recordings, meditation soundtracks, or simply as a memory of nature’s untouched beauty. At Trisik Beach, it’s not just about hearing the waves; it’s about feeling them resonate through the earth and into your soul.

Have you ever heard a material that sounds like nothing else? Listen to the magical timbre of obsidian needles. Obsidian is a volcanic stone that, in very rare places on earth, solidifies into needle shape that produces a very unique sound, purer than metal and smoother than glass.
I collected hundreds of these needles and I built 3 chimes with the needles that sounded best. Sound effects were recorded both with Sanken CO-100K and Sennheiser MKH 8040. All recordings and processed sounds contain a lot of ultrasonic frequencies, thus can be pitched with a great flexibility.
Have a listen to the unheard and create magic, ice, glass or any new sound effect you want.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
