  • City Life Sound Effects Streetscape Play Track 27 sounds included, 117 mins total $40

    Streetscape is an extremely focused urban ambience library: It features nearly two hours of exterior stereo recordings of only a few city blocks, portraying a gritty and dense urban setting, perfect for any urban thriller, modern noir, or cyberpunk project.

    Recorded four stories above street level in San Francisco, articulate details are balanced with natural diffusion and slapback in this dense urban corridor, allowing the recordings to sit in a mix with definition but without distraction. The recordings are between three and nine minutes long, have UCS-compliant filenames and metadata, and are provided with markers describing significant sound events. They have been carefully curated to not have any music from radios inside passing vehicles or local businesses, no wind, only adult voices, and only a handful of birds can be heard in a few of the recordings.

    The ambiences range from quiet and sparse to vibrant and active, with shouts and murmurs between car pass-bys and other events, echoing off the buildings crowded together like uninterrupted canyon walls. The city comes to life through the clanks of truck lift gates, rattling manhole covers, skateboard wheels over sidewalks, and even open grates down to the subway below, emitting an infamous “howl” as the train cars pass underground. Conversations, arguments, vehicular beeps, garbage trucks, electric buses, motorcycles, hydraulic brake releases, jackhammers, police sirens, car alarms, and more provide textures and specific sounds useful for any story set in a big city.

    Whether used as full beds or sliced up into specific sound events, Streetscape can help build a dynamic, lived-in city soundscape for your film, show, or game.

  • City Life Sound Effects FRL. Kaleidoscope. Stereo Play Track 309 sounds included, 548 mins total $100

    Kaleidoscope is the first library of the project. It includes field recordings of various categories made in 2022-2023. All files are standardized according to the UCS system. The library features various atmospheric recordings immersing listeners into specific vivid and deep states.

    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. Sometimes, photos from the locations helped, where I had to dig deep into my memory and listen to the recordings multiple times.

    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. The library is presented in two versions – stereo and spatial (5.0). Everything was recorded on the incredible Nevaton MS50 microphone in quad and DMS modes

  • City Life Sound Effects German Autobahn – Highway Ambiences Play Track 57 sounds included, 234 mins total $54

    This is the perfect traffic ambient bed or road background sound for any media production that features highways, interstates, freeways or German Autobahn.

    For this library I recorded dry, moist and wet road surfaces. I recorded sparse traffic, busy interstates and medium filled highways. The cars, trucks, busses and motorbikes drove slow, medium fast or at high speed.

    There are highlight sounds like honks or sirens, rattling trucks, creaky suspensions and noisy medians. A lot of pass bys and vrooms.

    Different perspectives range from close (<4m), medium, distant (>30m), top ( bridge), below (tunnel) to behind noise barrier.

    Most sounds have been recorded at night to avoid other noises. Few selected feature other noises on purpose, like a cicada chirping at a truck stop or birds in close by trees for a full atmo.

    Last but not least I recorded some handrails at the Autobahn with a contact mic. These metallic ambiences can be used for experimental sounddesign.

    Nehind the scenes video: The vroom of German Autobahn (Ep 06) (youtube.com)

    Gear used: Sound Devices 744t, Zoom F6, Schoeps CCM4, DPA 4060, Earthworks QTC50, Lewitt 540s, Schertler Contact Mic, Neumann 81i, Ambient Emesser
