66 soundsChimney Wind with Ceramic Taps and Coffee Pack Textures
An experimental layered soundscape built from everyday acoustic recordings. The foundation is the haunting sound of wind resonating through a chimney, enriched with the textured scratching of Nespresso coffee capsules and delicate finger taps on a ceramic plate. Together these ordinary sounds transform into an evolving ambient organic composition with experimental textures, and an atmospheric character. Suitable for experimental music, cinematic sound design, ambient compositions, and electro
Footsteps on Forest Summer Leaves Granular Drone
An experimental soundscape created from recordings of footsteps crunching through dry summer leaves. The original rhythm is looped three times, while a deep atmospheric drone provides a continuous backdrop.

Grinding crunchy
A re-mix of this sound:: https://freesound.org/s/440700/ Pitched it down a bit, ran it through a bpf on a low sweeping rate, then through a phaser with a low rate, then a flange, then compressed the daylights out of it. Yeehaw.
Rain on window
It was raining outside and I have a window on my roof that makes a lot of noise whenever it rains (obviously) so thought it would be a good sound to record. Feel free to use however you see fit, you don't even have to credit me but it would be nice if you did!

Amtrak Pacific Surfliner Pass-by
(RECORDER: ZoomH4nPro 2018) (MICROPHONES: Binaural Roland CS-10EM In-Ear Monitors) As these are recorded using binaural in-ear mics, I purposefully don't turn my head to keep the sound clean and coming from the same direction.
