My personal collection of field recordings and found sounds. These recordings were captured over the last six years, and represent some of the atmospheric elements that have formed the basis of a variety of my noise projects over those years. The recordings are unedited, and therefore may not always be of the highest quality. You should expect some hissing, low-end rumbling, wind noise and the occasional accidental contribution by the supposedly unobtrusive recorder. The files are all available in both 16-bit stereo WAV and 256kbps stereo MP3 format, to accommodate those who prefer fidelity and those who prefer download ease. |

Do you still have those found sounds I contributed, by chance^^? Well, I might find them amongst 298 backup discs somehow, but seem to have lost them^^. There’s soundtransit too, always in fear to close down due to heavy costs, but there you could add maybe a few of your sounds and people can “travel to Seattle” that way^^. There even are 2 who contributed sounds from Seattle.

Honestly, I don’t think you ever sent anything to me. Steve is still hosting his Sounds Found collection, which may have the files you’re seeking.
