As you might already know I’ve been recording lots of Black Powder and other “Explosive” things. Well, here is a audio teaser of some of the sounds I recorded and designed from the raw source material.
I’ve recorded a whole bunch of Tannerite, White Lightning, A Black Powder Cannon, Large Caliber Rifles and some other secret stuff I’m not cleared to have video and pictures of. This new library will be a massive collection of things that make a loud noise when lit up and will include all sorts of black powder bursts, sizzle, flames, rocket type effects and many other things I have not thought of yet.
Some of the source material is thunder, lightning, plastic air pops, Weatherby 300 rounds and various shotguns. Here in North Idaho we have a amazing environment for recording loud bangs and weapons. The reverb tails even from a small caliber rifle can produce really cool echoes and textures depending on the location and time of year. Some of the locations where I recorded were on a mountain top rock quarry, a dense forest, a medium size gravel pit and my own field here on the ranch. I’ve also recorded during all the four seasons and I will say they all sound a little different.
The collection is still a work in progress and I have many more sessions planned for this summer. When I feel the library is a well grounded assortment of sounds it will be released. Until then please enjoy the teaser and keep an eye out for future blog posts of the recording sessions.
