Expressive Winds

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!
