A single firework with almost no other background noise (almost). Recorded in southampton, uk on new years eve 2018 on a zoom h5 with custom mic capsules.
Cocking the hammer on a spencer rifle. It was an italian knock-off of an original. May require some trimming and buffing. I think i recorded this with an akg perception 200 using cool edit -- and i did it to get my room-mate to leave (after we recorded the sounds of several of his guns and a sword. . . ).
My girlfriend brushing her teeth with an electric tooth brush. The fundamental pitch of the toothbrush motor is just near b2. The mouth shape adds the first few upper harmonics (a la throat singing). Make a pad or pull into a granular synth!. Recorded with an akg c214 into an ni audio kontrol 1.
Audio of a dragoon pistol being cocked. It was probably an italian copy of an american-made unit. May require some trimming and buffing. I think i recorded this with an akg perception 200 using cool edit -- and i did it to get my room-mate to leave (after we recorded the sounds of several of his guns and a sword. . . ).
A warm late afternoon field recording along an almost empty stretch of highway in western australia. Recorded with an olympus ls-100. Feel free to comment and use as needed.
Rain, with some splashing and trickling sounds too. Recorded with 2 devices, an olympus ls-14 digital handheld, and an audio-technica studio mic. The recordings were combined to give a wider stereo effect.
An aerosol can spraying several times, either a paint can or an insect repellent. (my apologies for the bird calls and wind in the background, field-recordings are difficult in a rural area. ).
Finally rain after a hot dry july 2018. 10 mins rain with 3 large thunder claps. Not recorded as loud as i should have, it was dark. I used an h4n through an open window.
This sound was made by popping a cellophane bag and recorded using an m-audio microtrack ii. This sounds really good as a firework or an explosion sound, especially with reverb.

An an another loop i made a while ago. . . I hope it sounds good enough!it's 95% custom sounds! hi hats, crashes and snare were the only ones that i didn't make by my own.
While recording, an evil spirit came to town. Enjoy the ride. You really don't have to give attribution to this one. Really. Don't bother. Maybe i should have created an anonymous account for this one. . .
This is an extract of the montreal fireworks festival (usa). Recorded from a window giving to the jaques-cartier bridge with an ortf done with a pair of rhode m5 preamp in a rme ufx.
Lighting an electronic cigarette lighter from komazawa, tokyo, japan. The lighter is emblazoned with the word "tadaima" = welcome home. Recorded in mono with an akg 414, fredenstein mic amp, rme fireface interface into pro tools.
An 80bpm bass and drum loop, my fender precision thru an envelope filter and a simple drum program tweaked to death with filters. . Get down with your bad self.
A denim jacket and a wool coat rubbed together to recreate the sound of a hug for an audio drama. Recorded in an iso booth with a large diaphragm condenser microphone and de-noised.
