Airborne Sound

Founded by: Paul Virostek

Airborne Sound is a small collective of field recordists from Canada. We live, breathe, and dream sound effects.

We’ve been capturing sound clips for almost twenty years. Our field recordists have scoured the globe gathering the most evocative, meaningful sound fx for our library.

We believe sound effects have incredible power to immerse and inspire. They’re more than just tools: they’re creative works with great potential to enhance the projects you create and work on.

We ensnare every field recording with this in mind.
