Product Description
AMBISONIC ATMOSPHERES OF URBAN SRI LANKA
Ambiences of Sri Lanka is a collection of authentic urban soundscapes recorded across Sri Lankan cities and towns. The library explores environments such as streets, markets, restaurants, public spaces, transportation hubs and religious sites, capturing everyday life shaped by traffic, human activity and cultural rituals.
The urban environments of Sri Lanka are characterized by dense traffic, horns and tuk-tuks, lively markets filled with crowd activity, and calm temple spaces marked by ceremonial sounds and diffuse walla. Parks and natural areas, with recordings of birds and nature sounds, provide a contrast to the city noises. Most recordings are delivered in ambisonic AmbiX format and include decoded stereo files for immediate use across different workflows. A small number of recordings are provided in stereo only, as discreet recording conditions in certain locations made the use of larger ambisonic setups impractical.
Created in collaboration with Sounds On Air, the recordings were captured during extensive travels across Asia and are designed for flexible use in film, documentary, games, immersive media, radio plays and artistic projects.
