Scene Shop is a collection of high quality recordings of industrial machinery used in scenic construction workshops. Some machinery are in good condition, others not so much so… expect lots of metal rattling!
Machinery are not recorded during active use (not during wood cutting for example) so the recordings are very clean and lend themselves well to being used for large elevators, lifts, automatic doors and generally metal machinery of any kind and size.
There are multiple takes for most of the sounds, all complete with startup, steady phase, and shutdown.
This collection is a mixture of stereo and mono, very sensitive microphones able to pickup beyond 20khz were used, so it was produced and post-produced at 192khz (these machines are already very big, but slowed down they sound even bigger!)
There are also some extra sounds such as the switches of the machinery, bursts of compressed air, large metal doors and others.

Working on this library was very challenging personally for me. It took over a year to perfect it. It was difficult to remember where each recording was from and why I made it in the first place.

Kaleidoscope is a collection of disparate recordings united by one idea – to capture the here and now. From the clicks of waves resonating in the concrete confines of an abandoned duct to the atmosphere of an empty hotel room, from rain drumming on a metal canopy to sliding crystals in icy voids.

• Sound Devices 10 MKII • A DPA 4017 mono • B DPA 4060 Mono • C LOM Usi Stereo set with a LOM Geophone mounted on the metal door frame to catch the car wobbling. • D Røde NT1-A Stereo set with a LOM Geophone mounted on the metal door frame. • DPA 4017 and DPA 4060 mics are production sound mixers favorites. The 4060 presents the pass bys more soft and 4017 more dramaticly, cars feel faster, both has nice low frequencies.
• Recording was done from a Toyota Yaris 2013, a small car that wobbles with cars passing close by. It also has a dampened car interior, that isn’t too roomy like cars with glass roofs, the recordings can be used with many car interiors. • The library is ideal for sfx editors, sound designers, editors looking for realistic car interior ambiences and pass bys to sync to picture. Because of the wobbling of the car it can be great source material for designing whooshes.
With A Sound Effect, Asbjoern has created a web site where our international community can browse, learn, and share the vast fruits of our labors. Together we are accelerating the very real potential power of sound design as a recognized art form.

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.
