  • Metal Sound Effects Spring Box Play Track 81 sounds included $28

    Spring Box is 13 minutes/453mb of shrieking, droning, scraping metallic sounds – made by bowing a steel spring bolted to an empty steel enclosure. 81 separate files – recorded in 24bit/96kHz using Primo EM172 and JrF contact microphones. All files are UCS-compliant.

    Here’s a collection of eerie sounds for your next horror/sci-fi/ambient project. Everything from low rumbling and rattling, to high pitched, harmonics-laden screams; long, drawn-out sounds and short dings and twangs. Of course they sound really good when pitched down, too (the last 3 sounds in the preview are shifted down to quarter speed)!

    The Spring Box is an old 19 inch rack enclosure, which I gutted and fitted with two springs from a genuine Luxo lamp (so you know it’s good). I have been having fun bowing and scraping this with a cello bow, as well as striking it with various other objects. Some sounds are recorded acoustically, while others were done with contact mics.

    You get:

    • Steel spring sounds.
    • Long and atmospheric, as well as short and succinct.
    • Great pitch-shifting material.
    • Searchable file names

  • Ice Sound Effects Obsidian Magic Needles Play Track 300+ sounds included, 68 mins total $69

    Have you ever heard a material that sounds like nothing else? Listen to the magical timbre of obsidian needles. Obsidian is a volcanic stone that, in very rare places on earth, solidifies into needle shape that produces a very unique sound, purer than metal and smoother than glass.

    I collected hundreds of these needles and I built 3 chimes with the needles that sounded best. Sound effects were recorded both with Sanken CO-100K and Sennheiser MKH 8040. All recordings and processed sounds contain a lot of ultrasonic frequencies, thus can be pitched with a great flexibility.

    Have a listen to the unheard and create magic, ice, glass or any new sound effect you want.

    • Dozens of chime recordings
    • 200 needles individually sampled
    • 40 ready-to-use processed sound effects

  • City Life Sound Effects NYC Protest | 2019-2022 Play Track 51+ sounds included, 263 mins total $75

    There’s a lot of material here – recorded and organized with a sound editor’s sensibility.

    The recordings started out by chance – I’d end up in protest situations, and happened to have a recorder with me. This year I was a little more proactive, especially for the rally in Washington Square Park after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade.

    Also in this collection: A Downtown Brooklyn BLM march, A 2019 Foley Square rally in response to border camps/family separation, A UFT protest at City Hall, and a couple different mics on the jubilant reaction to Biden’s presidential win on the corner of Atlantic and Court in Brooklyn. There’s not much underpinning music or other legally difficult material, but there is some. I’ve chosen to leave it in, for the most part, as this is also a historical record.

    Quite a few takes are very long, and encompass changing circumstances. I’ve opted to use WAV markers, which I’m also providing as “Notes” metadata – making phrases, cheers, and other things I’ve noted searchable and findable!

    Everything is UCS complaint.

    *Most material was recorded on a Sony PCM-100, and originated 96k/24bit; Some material was recorded with the Sennheiser Ambeo Headset, and was upsampled to 96k/24bit from 48k/24bit
