Product Description
At this scale, wind changes the character of everything around it. Indoors, it turns familiar rooms into deep, tense, rattling spaces. Outside, strong gusts require deliberate movement, even for a short walk.
Recorded in winds ranging from 50 to 150 kilometres per hour, this collection captures the physical, unpredictable character of the sub-Antarctic. Across exposed Southern Ocean landscapes and inside old huts, sheds, and station structures, gusts rattle doors, flex metal, and find strange resonances. Outside, they sweep through tussock grass, sand, rain, surf, and open ground.
Used on their own, these recordings bring authentic extreme weather to a scene. Layer them to create tension, scale, and unfamiliar atmosphere: the pressure of a storm outside a remote station, a vast and hostile landscape, or an otherworldly environment with real physical weight.
Across twelve months at a remote sub-Antarctic research station, I recorded through the strongest Southern Ocean weather of the year. Stepping outside in the worst conditions meant fighting to keep my balance and protecting both myself and the recording gear. Around the station, the wind became hollow, rattling, and resonant. Further out, it opened into deep gusts, wisps, and shifting air moving through the landscape. The microphones often heard more clearly than I could beneath my windproof layers.
What’s included
Exposed storm winds Powerful exterior gusts, weather across open ground, wind blown rain, distant surf, and the force of the Southern Ocean.
Wind through structures Hollow sheds, old huts, research station rooms, open doors, rattling panels, vibrating metal, creaking timber, and gusts that shake buildings.
Tussock, sand, and vegetation Wind moving through long grass and tussock, with deep billowing rumbles and high shifting gusts.
Tonal and turbulent textures Dark drones, resonant air vents, humming vibrations, whistling gusts, buffeting, and unusual wind driven details for cinematic layering.
108 high resolution wind ambiences A detailed source collection recorded at a remote sub-Antarctic research station, with a wide range of realistic and cinematic wind textures.
