California Grassland Abandoned is a collection of 65 Stereo and 18 Quad Recordings focused on Abandoned old structures, various Int / Ext Winds, Metal Latches, Gates, Wood Creaks, and an assortment of other interesting sounds.
The recordings from this library took place in The Carrizo Plain, an open expanse of Grassland that is located West of the Mojave Desert in California’s Central Valley. Abandoned and weathered dilapidated remnants of old ranches, water tanks, barns, metal sheds, farm machinery, and corrals from a bygone era of the West can be discovered if one ventures off the beaten path.
An old rusted corral gate’s latches, hinges, locks, and ronks. A 1950 Ford Truck’s wild sound door creaks. The still quiet of morning ambiences. A very animated barn door. A water tank in the middle of no man’s land bending and booming as the elements of nature have their way. Calm, medium, and higher winds in metal sheds, small houses, barns, tall dry grass, and in some exterior locations out in the Plain.
The goal was to try to capture anything I could that had a lot of character along with providing a sense of what a lot these areas sound like. These recordings aren’t meant to be absolutely desolate so in a few of the wind and ambience tracks there is some light birds, and sometimes a few insects.
The companion library to this, California Grassland Wildlife contains a number of different bird species and a couple of other animals and insects native to the environment.
