  • Environments & Ambiences Shipscape Play Track 22 sounds included, 82 mins total $60

    Shipscape is a sonic exploration of a World War II Victory Ship, an ammunition freighter that later saw use as a commercial freighter and was ultimately restored to serve as a floating museum and event space. It’s perfect for building space station, starship, industrial, naval, submarine, and factory environments. 

    The SS Red Oak Victory, built in 1944 in, and now returned to, Richmond, California, is a vast steel space with great room tones and objects. Its blast-proof bulkheads and double hull transmit and reflect sound in wild ways. No one has ever recorded in this location until now.

    While there are some prop and object recordings, this library’s core focus is long ambience recordings (5 – 13 minutes in length). This UCS-compliant library was recorded with a combination of a Sennheiser and Schoeps microphones, and contains both stereo and quad recordings.

    Nearly an hour and a half of recordings cover its four-story engine room, long and narrow shaft alley, massive cargo holds, and bridge. Some recordings are subtle room tones, while others feature distant, ominous booms and clanks transmitted through its cargo bays, hull, and bulkheads. 

    Explore this fascinating environment with Shipscape, a library released in celebration of the SS Red Oak Victory’s 80th birthday.

  • Traffic Sound Effects Long Car Pass Bys Play Track 10-40 sounds included, 65 mins total $22

    This small library contains ten exquisite recordings in multiple variances of cars driving through a quiet and expansive landscape along a very long road. You can hear the car approaching from a very far distance, passing by close, and slowly fading away into the distance for a very long time as well. In other words; we capture the car’s journey from afar, stretching on until it disappears over the horizon.

    All recordings are clear and entirely devoid of external noise and human disruptions.

    All these recordings are recorded using two microphone setups: a Double MS Stereo setup and a spaced omnis setup, the latter also providing extended frequency response. This results in four variations for each recording: Stereo, Wide Stereo, Wide AB Stereo, and 5-channel 5.0 surround. The variances between these options range from subtle to more pronounced, offering flexibility for crosscutting within scenes.

    Get more than one hour of unique, royalty-free and notably high quality recordings with this library. Recorded in 24 bit / 96 kHz. Accurately edited and mastered to sound as natural as possible. With an average duration ranging from 40 seconds to 3 1/2 minutes per file.

    This library is UCS compliant (universalcategorysystem.com). In this new category system, all files contain extensive metadata like file description, Category & Subcategory. Metadata can be read and processed by the most common audio libraries management tools.

  • Environments & Ambiences Northern Italy Play Track 22 sounds included, 90 mins total $29

    Northern Italy is 90 minutes/2.9 Gb of ambiance recordings of rural Northern Italy. 22 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz A-B stereo. All sounds are UCS-compatible.

    Northern Italy was recorded in July 2019 (pre-Covid), and features ambiance recordings from just outside the small village of Entratico, near Bergamo, Italy. This is hill-country, with meandering gravel-roads, small farms, sheep-bells and lots of crickets. In fact, in this terrain, insects seem to be the only sound sources which are always near. Everything else, from dogs and roosters, to church-bells and airplanes, seems always to be distant. Lots of laid-back rural atmosphere here.

    Crickets are quite a dominant feature in these recordings, and there are several variations recorded both day & night. Some are quite loud (the ones with “LOUD” in the file names), so be careful with playback.

  • Industrial Ambiences Vibrations Etm Play Track 83 sounds included, 63 mins total $20

    In the summer of 2021 I spent about a month in Seattle and did a lot of field recording. One of the most successful sessions was a round trip to Winslow on the Washington State Ferry. The ship is huge and just about everything vibrates sympathetically with the engine pulse. This library includes all of those vibration recordings (Shock-mounted Sony PCM-100; 96k/24bit) To keep things interesting, and somewhat on point, I’ve scoured my personal library for other unique sounds – real and synthetic – which I’ve gathered or created over 30+ years that have some sort of vibration (or vibration-adjacent) element. I was pretty liberal in how I defined it: Quantum foam (Organic or Performed) The result is an eclectic mix – vibration being the through-line.

    All sounds have UCS compliant metadata.

  • Bird Sound Effects Geese Play Track 80 mins total $49

    ‘Geese‘ contains a massive array of wild bird sound effects recorded from various canals, rivers, reservoirs and lakes. We are the first in the world to release a nature library with a specific, extensive collection of Goose sounds, which includes flapping wings, fighting, footsteps, paddling, swimming and jumping into water, eating various types of foods, a wide array of vocalisations including groups(gaggles), pairs, individuals and much, much more.

    Our Audio Craftsmen meticulously planned our field recording sessions considering time of day, weather conditions and different locations aiming to capture the full range of behaviour these animals display on a daily basis. We visited a variety of spots and spent time learning the behaviours of Geese, allowing us to capture their reactions as both individuals and groups of varying size. We recorded sounds during a variety of scenarios including eating food, fighting each other, and encountering ducks/other water birds. The huge difference in personalities between these birds allowed us to capture distinct vocalisations made while being fed, acting calm, aggressive or being threatened by rivals to their territory (even making sounds that could be mistaken for a dog, chicken or dinosaur!).

    We also recorded sounds from different perspectives which include tunnels (both inside and from a far), a gaggle of Geese approaching from a distance, fighting, flying and swimming by as well as close up sounds of eating, pecking and more.

    Moreover, all the sounds provided are dry in 192kHz 24Bit. Allowing for uses varying from nature documentaries through to excellent source sounds for creature and vocal design.
