Explores Swamps [WAV]

FULL INFO BELOW:

Swamps and costal estuaries are among the most valuable ecosystems on earth. Not only are they home to an extraordinary variety of plants and animals, but they act like giant sponges or reservoirs. When heavy rains cause flooding, swamps and other wetlands absorb excess water, softening the effects of flooding. Swamps also protect coastal areas from storm surges that can wash away fragile coastline. The swamp ecosystem also acts as a water treatment plant, filtering wastes and purifying water naturally. But for most of history, wetlands were looked upon as sinister and forbidding wastelands that are now under severe threat from climate change, habitat loss, and pollution.

Splice Explores: Swamps unearths the amazing diversity of these precious ecosystems through sound and music. Recorded by Splices in-house team and producer/artist Galen Tipton, we captured a massive collection of the gooey, dripping, jittery, thick, and strange chaotic sounds youll find in the swamps of the American South. This pack includes deafening frog calls, spooky owl hoots, delicate dragonfly wing flapping, and a ton of strange underwater sounds using a hydrophone. In additional to the many high-fidelity dry field recordings, Galen processed a selection of sounds into entirely unique color bass and hyper pop percussion, drums, synths, and fx that act as perfect hidden gems to any pop or electronic production.

This is truly a one-of-a-kind pack that not only transports you to a precious and bizarre underworld, but its a mini library of totally unusual sounds that you wont find anywhere else. Explore the pack today!

A special thanks to ecologist Julie L. Whitbeck, biologist Gina Zwicky, the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve outside of New Orleans, the Bayou Cocodrie National Wildlife Refuge in Mississippi, and the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area in Louisiana for help with our recordings.
