Fallow Deer is a collection of recordings taken during the amazing spectacle that is the fallow deer rut. The library includes  the strange low frequency grunting, bellowing and dramatic antler clashes as the male deer fight to compete for mating rights. Many of the recordings were made at night and being in a hide surrounded by around 40 aggressive males in the pitch dark was a breathtaking experience I will never forget.

The recordings are very close and clean and perfect for creature design. Gold dust for sound designers wanting to create strange creature vocals!

Nordic Nature is a collaboration with sound recordist George Vlad. The library features immersive and evocative ambiences recorded over a three-year period across the wilderness of Sweden and Norway. From ancient woodland dawn choruses and sparse pine forest ambiences to the intense nighttime calls of marsh frogs and bitterns on Swedish lakes, this library captures the sounds of some of Sweden and Norway’s key habitats across various times of day and night.

Highlights include the wailing calls of adult and juvenile Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis), the pig-like grunting of Capercaillies (Tetrao urogallus) and the croaking of frogs on large lakes, all recorded in pristine conditions in their natural habitats. At the other end of the spectrum, the library also features calm nightscapes and weather elements such as wind and rain.
