Sensory Percussion: Coastal Soundscapes of Maine captures the essence of Midcoast Maine in the spring, offering a unique blend of natural and industrial sounds. Created by Maine-based producer Charles Van Kirk, this sample pack chronicles the sounds of flora, fauna, and local industry around his home near Muscongus Bay and the Damariscotta River.
From wood frogs croaking in vernal pools to kayaking near islands and driftwood percussion, this collection immerses you in the natural beauty of Maine. The pack’s most striking feature is its extensive oyster farming sounds, including sifting oysters, upweller pumps, dragging bins on boardwalks, and the Foley of harvested oysters. These authentic field recordings serve as the backbone of the pack, bringing a grounded, organic touch to your music.
