Gourd sound effects, mostly the shaken kind. Gourd maracas and seed pod shakers, each recorded from several angles and shaken soft to hard. Dry and rattly, full of tiny detail. Sci-fi collections of alien textures and space drones turn up alongside.
Gourds make great raw material because the seeds inside never land the same way. Stretched out, a shaker becomes sand pouring or a snake in the grass, and granulated it turns into insect swarms or crackling static. Pushed further still, the same textures sit happily beside the Science Fiction drones here. The rainsticks already do the rain on their own, with no processing needed.
