Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of a diverse and versatile collection of raw and processed royalty free experimental field recordings that can be used for music and sound design.
From the mesmerizing sound of bath bombs dissolving in water meticulously captured through a pair of high quality hydrophones to earth movements recorded with a geophone, Fieldworks Volume 1 is packed with extraordinary sonic textures.
Recorded at 192 kHz and 32 bit floating, and delivered in both 192kHz/24bit and 48kHz/24 bit wav files, Fieldworks can be stretched, pitch-shifted and mangled as you please for a unique auditory experience.
Whilst a useful source of sounds in its own right, Fieldworks really excels when used with Harmonic Bloom – Sonora Cinematic’s acclaimed sound design tool. Simply drag and drop one of the Fieldworks sounds into the GUI and simply start extracting harmonics to obtain a musical pitch. Use the built-in LFOs to independently modulate the panning, volume and filters of each single harmonic and add a second layer from a curated selection of deep sampled sound sources – creating lush, evolving soundscapes is as easy as turning just a few knobs!
What’s more, thanks to the new v1.2 update, you can now save patches that use your own samples (or those from Fieldworks) as snapshots and recall them in your DAW session.
Of the release, Sonora Cinematic Founder, Alessandro Mastroianni says,
“A few months ago I started collecting interesting microphones: from a Geophone to a couple of very interesting high quality hydrophones and contact transducers. The recordings I captured were very interesting and dropping them into Harmonic Bloom created unique atmospheres instantly. I had to share them with the world.”
Fieldworks Vol. 1 is available for £10 GBP (ex VAT). Existing Harmonic Bloom customers can take advantage of an introductory price of £5 GBP until September 30th, 2023.
In addition, to celebrate its update, Harmonic Bloom is available to buy with a 25% discount throughout September.
Harmonic Bloom, Fieldworks Vol 1 and Verticale (the heartwarming upright piano for ambient and lofi music) are now also available as a bundle for the special price of £119 GBP (£179 GBP value).
