Prepare to be captivated by the sheer sonic detail and unparalleled flexibility these recordings offer!

From the resounding impact on a massive glass door to the delicate pitter-patter on a bush, every sound is a masterpiece of sonic artistry.
Experience the sonic spectacle of throwing water at high speed against…
A colossal glass door

This collection has over four hours of streams, rivers, and waterfalls, all recorded without birds or man-made noise. The 91 recordings offer a variety of perspectives, from close-up to distant, highlighting the natural gurgles and splashes. Everything was recorded in northern Norway, Belgium, and northern France.
I created this collection primarily for myself, aware of the many Rivers and Streams libraries out there, but I couldn’t resist sharing it after enjoying the recording process so much. The sounds capture everything from the intense rush of water just above the roaring rapids to the gentle flow of rivers hundreds of meters away. In quiet natural environments, the sound of flowing water can be heard from very far and this really impacts the soundscape in a beautiful way. I also designed some waterfall samples, focusing on texture to avoid the typical pink noise. These additions sound powerful yet natural. There are also low-end recordings of a large waterfall, captured between rock formations, which deliver a deep roar with minimal high frequencies—perfect for enhancing water sounds.
Many of the recordings were captured during a 30-day hiking trip through the northernmost parts of Norway. Crossing rivers without bridges was a significant part of the journey, and these sounds instantly take me back there, wet feet and all. I hope you’ll find them useful!
“Nazare, Portugal. Big Waves spot” includes 9 stereo files (WAV, 96 kHz, 24 bit) of total length: 33m52s. All files were carefully edited and described with UCS metadata.
Recorded with Zoom H6 with internal mid-side capsule during three “big waves” days of January 2020.
What you can expect to hear is general loud ocean roar with strong wind, large waves breaking at the cliff rocks and much calmer morning recordings on the beach with long breaking waves and sea birds. Perfect as ambience for seaside scenes.
“Nazare, Portugal. Big Waves spot.” is 9 stereo files, 96/24. 1,08 GB big, all UCS ready!

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

From across his homeland in the Pacific Northwest and beyond Nick brings you Shore Waves. A curated collection of pristine water lapping, crashing, and thundering along diverse shorelines of lakes, coves, and oceans. This library is pure water and free of creature, human, or external sound (except in specific recordings noted in the title or description). Recorded over the years while walking beaches and lakes, these waves are carefully selected to be the most musical and dynamic. Nearly entirely loopable, Shore Waves comes with extensive metadata and is UCS-compliant.
The focus of this collection is to include a variety of water wave sounds. A quiet lap on a sandy beach, tumbling rocks in the ocean shore break, rhythmic glugging along a rocky shore, building into the full cacophony of thundering ocean surf makes for a diverse library. These sounds are captured from various perspectives, such as close-up recordings of small lapping water and wider recordings that express the ambiance of a choppy lake or distant beach.

Rivers, Streams, Brooklets, Creeks and Waterfalls recorded both above- and underwater.
Over the past five years I constantly recorded flowing water at every opportunity. This library includes a fine selection of diverse sounds emitted by running water. From alpine mountain rivers that rush after the snow melt, brooklets jumping over rocks, natural and human-made tunnels, bubbling watersteps in streams, rapids and riverwaves to plattering waterfalls, straight concrete waste water run and groaning and hissing natural brooks.
Some sounds are harsh and almost white noise, others are lovely and relaxing.
I mostly recorded at night, to keep the recordings free of bird, car or plane noise.

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.
