Located in various historical buildings spanning the 1700s-1930s, this extensive collection features authentic sound effects recorded using professional equipment, capturing detailed period-specific foley and ambient recordings in high fidelity.
This is a collection of location foley sounds (anything we could find that makes sound) recorded over 3 year period in authentic historical houses and barns. This includes 1700s peasant village houses, 1700s manor, 1850s farm, 1900s manor and 1930s cottage.
These are recorded for film projects so they have the right cinematic feel, dynamic and variation.
The houses were full of period props, so the recordings are rich and have lots of details that take you to the right time and feel.
We used the best sounding equipment – sound devices recorders (744, 702, mixpre), Sennheiser mkh 8040, DPA 4006a and Sennheiser mkh416 microphones.
All recordings are 96khz 24bit. Many are long takes (8+ minutes) with lots of performance variations.
Often the stereo recordings have one channel as close up mic and the other as distant / room mic.
