I'm contributing some sounds to an upcoming crowdsourced Water & Ice sound effects library. For my contribution, I pulled recordings from a coincidentally-timed recording trip. I recently spent a few very (very) cold nights camped next to a few frozen lakes listening to (and recording) their heaving and sighing and cracking and sloshing. This is a preview of what I heard and will be in the library.
This is a short compilation of some really cool sounds emanating from the lakes. I must emphasize that there is *no* processing here (other than simple editing). Th method here was just set the mics up and let the ice sing (and then edit the takes together). This compilation represents 25 takes that will be included in the crowdsourced library.
There is plenty more where this came from. Fell free to message me if you're interested in hearing more.
