Description
Splice Explores presents the second installment of an extraordinary journey captured by producer Charles Van Kirk, who biked 3,900 miles across the United States. Equipped with a Zoom H6, he recorded the raw, vibrant soundscapes of 14 states, from the Atlantic coast in Maine to the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. These recordings feature the diverse, beautiful soundscape of America, offering a vast collection of field recordings and custom musical loops that bring the natural world into your music.
In Part 2 of this monumental two-part release, you’ll find a stunning variety of ambience, natural sounds, and musical layers derived from the environment. Hear trains crossing the prairie, thunderstorms cracking over Iowa, and bison grunting in the Montana national parks. Discover the wild serenity of rivers rushing, the eerie calls of howling coyotes, and much more, all captured in vivid detail.
Charles Van Kirk didn’t just record nature; he transformed it. Using Sensory Percussion sensors on his drum kit, he created rhythmic loops from the field recordings, turning everyday sounds into otherworldly grooves and one-of-a-kind layers. This makes the pack not only an incredible field recording resource, but also a collection of unique musical loops perfect for your next production.
Whether you’re crafting cinematic soundscapes, ambient music, or looking for that raw, organic texture to add to your tracks, this pack offers an inspiring array of sounds straight from America’s diverse landscapes.
