    This library features nature sounds and ambiences, recorded in two high-altitude alpine forests in Central Europe.

The sound of Alpine Forest evokes a sense of harmony with nature.

The variances between these options range from subtle to more pronounced, offering flexibility for crosscutting within scenes.

    Scandinavian forests are known for being less densely populated by animals and for the harsh and changeable weather.

    In the more urban recordings, you’ll hear the sounds of everyday life, from the hustle and bustle of busy streets to the tranquil sounds of quiet alleys. You’ll hear the chatter of local life and in some recordings the sound of cars and motorbikes navigating the streets.

  • City Life Sound Effects FLD01_Berlin Vignettes Play Track 18 sounds included, 121 mins total $4

    When traveling to Berlin to take some much needed time off, I immediately know that I wanted to capture some of the ambiences of the city; Not just to create a library from them, but also to let me dwell on the trip for a little longer by immersing myself in these recordings once back home. From the balcony of an AirBnb in Berlin-Wedding, I captured several long-form ambiences (ranging from 5 to 30+ minutes) during different times of day. The location of the apartment allowed me to capture the sounds of the city in a very cohesive and uninterrupted way without having people walking or driving directly in front of the recorder.

    You’ll hear gentle traffic sounds, the S-Bahn 41 and 42 arriving and departing regularly in the distance, occasional ambulance pass-bys, church bells, birds, and, in some cases, even the thumping bass from a nearby wedding venue.

    Also included are recordings captured at train and subway stations, animal vocalizations captured at the two zoos, and some very calming suburban ambience.

    Birds calling, the echoing chatter of the neighborhood, gardening sounds, crickets chirping, dogs barking, roosters crowing, jets passing overhead, and the profound silence in the depths of the night; the awakening of nature and residents in the early morning hours, and much more.

    ‘Residential Forest I’ is the first library in my series of long-term recordings from a German allotment environment. This remote area, surrounded by forest, features cottages, ponds, and an abundance of natural sounds. The library captures a blend of suburban, residential, and forest ambiences.

    ‘Residential Forest I’ includes 27 unique ambiences recorded in Germany during the summer of August 2021, from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. From these 11 hours of recordings, I have carefully edited and curated the best moments, creating a 5 GB auditory journey through the evening, night, and morning hours in this residential forest setting.

    To capture the profound silence of the night, I used a matched pair of Rode NT1-A microphones with exceptionally low noise, paired with a Tascam HD-P1 recorder.

    The total duration of the library is approximately 5 hours, with most ambiences ranging between 5 and 15 minutes in length. Some are longer, while a few are shorter.

  • Water & Ocean Sounds Sea & Surf Play Track 49 sounds included, 360 mins total $56

    Sea & Surf is nearly 6 hours / 11 GB of wave sound effects – some over 15 minutes long.
    49 separate files     – recorded in 24bit/96kHz. All sounds are UCS-compatible.

    Sea & Surf represents a decade of collecting wave sound effects on Danish shores. With over 7000 km of coastline to record, there is a bit of everything here. From the shallow waters of Aarhus Bay, to the roaring North Sea at Hanstholm on the shoulder of Jutland, I recorded waves crashing, splashing, lapping and even clucking.

    I visited marinas, jetties, breakwaters, piers, a lake, and even the inside of a WW2-era concrete bunker. Here are close-ups from the waterline, from between the boulders of a breakwater and waves clucking quietly on the rocky coast of Bornholm.

    At the North Sea, I recorded in several positions, from right in the waterline, to behind large sand dunes. I made sure to set up my microphones at several elevations, to capture the variation in sound this affords. These are not squeaky-clean recordings, as some of the quieter ones do contain the odd bird sound here and there. You will also hear grasses and other vegetation rustled by the wind, but that all adds to the realism, of course!

    Recording waves is a bit like recording wind, by the way, in that it is basically white noise and can quickly be reduced to sounding like it – if you stand in the wrong place. This is probably the “soothing” quality, many people hear in wave sounds. However, there is a lot more to water waves than relaxation sounds, and so I’ve always attempted to capture the drama and the variation, along with the more obvious wave sounds.

    Recordings were made in A-B stereo as well as X/Y, with the M/S sources included in the download. This gives you more flexibility to widen or narrow the sounds in post-production. Microphones used were both Sennheiser MKH series and Primo EM172 omni electret capsules.

    Some recordings are focused on the distant perspective, while others zoom in on each wave impacting a surface, which is where M/S lets you choose how sharply you want to frame the sound.
