  • Environments & Ambiences Expressive Winds Play Track 107 sounds included, 585 mins total $80
    If you want to hear more examples and learn about how I made this you can listen to this episode on spotify. Beware: only if you can stand 10 minute monologues about sound effects and field recording spoken in english with a weird danish/dutch accent

    Expressive Winds is striking, unusual, and distinct.
    I wanted to make a collection of wind sounds made for moments when the wind conveys an emotional message or sets the tone for a scene. The collection features howling, whistling, buffeting, gusty, and rushing winds, all with pronounced character. I experimented in the whole range from powerful and dynamic to slow and static. Some are gritty and dark, while others are otherworldly or light. Many are tonal or designed, but all stand out as something unique.

    Through a couple of months of fun experimentation each night it turned out to be more than 9.5 hours of stereo wind sounds across 107 files. All files are thoroughly and carefully tagged with metadata and have UCS-compliant file naming.

    I had a blast making this, I hope you’ll have too working with it!

  • Ice Sound Effects Frozen Core Vol. 1 – Forge Play Track 1939 sounds included $39

    A sound library forged with creativity at its core.

It includes a mix of authentic ice sounds alongside complementary elements, all focused on the central theme of ice. Whether you’re working on icy landscapes, frost weapons, or other frozen elements, this library provides you with the freedom to build your own custom soundscapes.

    Key Features

    • Source Sounds: The Source category offers raw, unprocessed ice-themed recordings, but with an important twist. While it includes a variety of authentic ice sounds, such as cracking, breaking, and ambient frost noises, it also features additional supportive sounds that enhance the creative potential. These include environmental noises and other elements that are thematically aligned with ice, giving you the flexibility to combine and experiment with different textures. The Source sounds provide the foundation, allowing you to shape and mold your own unique audio designs.
    • Processed Sounds: The Processed category elevates the Source sounds to a more stylized level. These are enhanced versions of the original recordings and are more complex and dramatic than their natural counterparts. This step adds greater depth, texture, and creative flair to the sounds, providing you with a wider range of expressive possibilities. It’s perfect for creating more intense, stylized sounds while still allowing for further refinement to fit your specific needs.
    • Why “Forge”?: The name Forge reflects the creative process at the heart of this library. Just as a blacksmith shapes raw materials into something new and powerful, the Source sounds serve as the unshaped elements, waiting to be crafted into whatever you envision. The Processed sounds are a further evolution of those elements, transforming them into something more refined and complex. Together, they provide a versatile toolkit that supports your creativity, making it easy to bring your frozen world to life.

    Frozen Core Vol. 1 – Forge is all about giving you the freedom to build, experiment, and create with sounds that fit your unique vision of ice and frost. With this library, you have the perfect foundation for your projects, while the Source and Processed categories offer the flexibility to take your designs as far as your creativity will go.
