  • Cylindrical Gong is a collection of high quality, 24bit/96kHz, UCS-compliant stereo recordings from a strange, cylindrical, gong-like sheet metal object I came across once. I use the word gong, but there is none of the cymbal-like sheen in this object. Instead, you get more of a ring-modulated, atonal texture – perhaps more like a broken bell. Definitely not your typical gong sound effect.

    The 27 different gong sound recordings included provide loads of nuance of sound from this object – I used mallets, knuckles and fingernails to play it! Load them into different velocity ranges on your favorite sampler, pitch them up and down, add effects, etc.
    Use them for musical effects, for layering with other sounds, or perhaps mangle them beyond recognition.

  • Tension Resonator – Metallic Cable Oscillation SFX Library
    Raw metallic resonance, captured in the wild.

    This library delivers a focused collection of high-fidelity metallic tension recordings, sourced from a real suspended steel cable stretched between two mountain structures.

    Using a Geofòn and Cojossul contact microphone positioned at key resonance points, every vibration, harmonic, and oscillation was captured with extreme detail. When struck or set in motion, the cable acted like a giant string oscillator, producing:
    -Resonant pulses and impact transients
    -Frequency sweeps traveling along the cable
    -Rich physical harmonics and metallic overtones

    All sounds are presented clean, unprocessed, and phase-aligned, making them highly versatile for:
    -Layering into energy weapons, plasma blasters, or sci-fi UI
    -Designing bass pulses, industrial drones, and tension risers
    -Creating cinematic impacts or motion design SFX with tactile realism

    Specs:
    -192kHz / 24-bit WAV
    -Metadata embedded (UCS compliant)
    -Recorded in pristine outdoor mountain environment
    -100% royalty-free

    Perfect for sound designers, trailer editors, and experimental composers seeking a unique, resonant metallic source.
