The sounds of our world are full of beauty and intrigue, with each season bringing out a new and profound sound composition. Using the unmatched Schoeps ORTF3D Surround Set, in SEASONS OF EARTH we aim to capture the Earth’s most fascinating and iconic ambiences in a manner that faithfully reproduces the planet’s unique sonic signature. Use these high-quality audio files to create fully immersive 3D Surround or Stereo environments from scratch.

THE SOUNDS OF NATURE COME TO LIFE

The longer days, milder temperatures, and emerging flowers are celebrated by nature with a sonic feast. SEASONS OF EARTH – EUROPEAN SPRING captures all the musically diverse variations of the season, encompassing the orchestras of avians, chorus of frogs, and the divine instruments of nature like howling wind through highlands, a light rain drumming across fields of mustard seed, or roaring river flowing down the mountainside of the valleys of Kerry, Ireland.

The library was recorded in 3D using a Schoeps ORTF rig, taking listeners on a journey across the vanishing rural landscapes of Europe in full 360° audio. Listeners who close their eyes can feel the cool Northern breeze on their faces or the fresh, early morning smell of a German forest. Transport your audiences with the field crickets of the Black Forest that only sing in spring, or the wetlands of Sweden flocking with the new life of migratory birds that range across the continents and breed in the North. Give your work a touch of such a sensuous reality.

A SYMPHONY OF THE EUROPEAN WILD

Europe is an increasingly crowded continent, and escaping to an untouched nature is becoming more and more difficult. Our recordists have ventured out into the deep wilds with a sense of diligence and patience, capturing seemingly untouched sonic landscapes trapped in time.

Though this library does capture a few settled landscapes and farmsteads that characterize modern Europe, with a very occasional sheep bleat (labeled), it does seek to capture a completely isolated and only natural environment, to reflect the state of nature in a European spring.

STEREO VERSION INCLUDED

The stereo version, with the same sound content and production-ready audio formats, is included with the purchase of the 3D Surround set in addition to the complete 3D Surround experience.
