Environments & Ambiences Athens & Crete Play Track 75+ sounds included, 400 mins total $40

From bustling Athenian markets to the rocky Mediterranean coast, this library is a great snapshot of what Greece sounds like. Essentially it’s two very different libraries in one really useful package!

Athens
This historic city sounds old and it sounds new. Busy markets and crowds fill the streets beneath the Acropolis, while a few blocks away the city is alive with busy traffic and eurocentric motorbikes.

We captured street buskers, back alley murmurs, bustling city squares, markets, heavy traffic, skylines and even a religious sermon!

Crete
Nature dominates here and we got our ankles wet recording all she has to offer. Big surf, coves and gurgling rock pools. Mountain goats, crows, roosters and an early dawn chorus. Insects of the Agia Erini Gorge – more Cicadas than you can shake a stick at!

Whether it’s Game of Thrones or the next Bourne film, this beast will help bring your locations to life!

Wayne Pashley

Supervising Sound Editor/Re-recording Mixer, The Lego Movie & Mad Max: Fury Road

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!

David Farmer

Sound designer:
Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit trilogies

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!

Charles Deenen

Director, Digital - Source Sound Inc.

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!
