自人类诞生以来，洞穴就作为避难所和聚集点吸引了我们，直到今天仍然给人一种神秘和历史的感觉。 由于其对变化的抵抗力和气候的相对稳定性，地下世界完美地保存了许多人类学和古生物学证据，这些证据让我们了解了我们的同胞。 洞穴听起来像什么？ 我们能否捕捉到洞穴中那种神奇的共鸣和混响，将我们带回到远古祖先的时代？

Soundscapes Caves 发生在两个不同的洞穴环境中。 该包最初是在 20 年前印度洋法属留尼汪岛火山喷发形成的熔岩隧道深处的安全帽和潮湿的录音设备中成型的。 制片人查尔斯·范·柯克 (Charles Van Kirk) 和留尼汪岛艺术家奥鲁斯 (Aurus) 在当地导游的帮助下，沿着一条鲜为人知的渔民小路，徒步穿越破碎的火山岩，寻找金丝燕 (Salanganes) 鸟类。

通往熔岩隧道的道路始于查尔斯问奥鲁斯：你在留尼汪岛童年时最难忘的声音是什么？ 这个问题的答案之一——回声定位鸟类在靠近海洋的洞穴深处筑巢——在这些录音中得到了突出的体现。 奥鲁斯和查尔斯在洞穴里唱歌，在熔岩表面敲击乐器，火山喷发的动作蚀刻在涟漪和裂缝中。

这个洞穴网络包含许多不同的声学环境：具有令人兴奋的低频的小而私密的空间和具有较长混响衰减时间的较大房间。 在大多数这些空间中，滴水和萨兰加内斯扑动的翅膀是不变的。

该样本包的第二部分是在犹他州南部锡安国家公园及其周边地区与 Charles、歌手 Emily Greene 和 Splice 的 Josh Robertson 录制的。 三人探索了一条废弃的砂岩隧道和其他几个声学好奇点，在扭曲的犹他洞穴的独特混响中融入了 Emily 华丽的歌声，使这个包更加完美。

当您深入研究这些样本时，您会期待令人难以置信的声音在洞穴网络中回响，使用岩石、身体部位和生活在洞穴中的生物进行令人信服的打击乐，以及根据这些特殊隐秘处的氛围设计的令人难以置信的合成器。 成为一名声音洞穴居民，为您的下一部电影制作、曲目或任何您的创意努力挖掘这些多功能、完整且动人的声音。

所有声音均使用 DPA 5100 环绕麦克风录制到 Sound Devices 录音机或 SSL 接口中。

Since the very beginning of humanity caves have attracted us as safe-havens and gathering points that to this day still provide a feeling of mystique and history. Because of its resistance to change and the relative stability of its climate, the underground world perfectly preserves much anthropological and paleontological evidence that has taught us much about our fellow man. What do caves sound like? Can we capture that magical resonance and reverb of caves that transports us back to the times of ancient ancestors?

Soundscapes Caves takes place over two distinct cave environments. The pack originally took shape with hardhats and soggy recording equipment deep in lava tunnels formed by a volcanic eruption 20 years ago on Réunion Island, a French department in the Indian Ocean. Producer Charles Van Kirk and Réunionnais artist Aurus hiked over crumbling volcanic rocks along a little known fisherman’s path with the help of a local guide in search of Salanganes birds (swiftlets in English).

The path to the lava tunnels began with Charles asking Aurus: what are the most memorable sounds from your childhood on Réunion? One of the answers to that question – echolocating birds nesting deep in caves near the ocean – is featured prominently in these recordings. Aurus and Charles sang in the caves and played percussion on the surfaces of the lava, with the movement of the eruption etched in ripples and cracks.

This network of caves contains many different acoustic environments: small, intimate spaces with excitable low frequencies and larger chambers with longer reverb decay times. A constant in most of these spaces is dripping water and fluttering wings of the Salanganes.

The second part of this sample pack was recorded in southern Utah in and around Zion National Park with Charles, vocalist Emily Greene and Splice’s Josh Robertson. The trio explored an abandoned sandstone tunnel and several other points of acoustic curiosity, leaning into the expertise of Emily’s gorgeous vocals in the unique reverbs of the twisting Utah caves to round out this pack.

As you spelunk into these samples, expect incredible vocals echoing through the cave networks, compelling percussion using rocks, body parts and creatures living in the caves, and incredible synths designed from the ambiences found in these special hideaways. Become a sonic cave-dweller and unearth these versatile, full, and moving sounds for your next film production, track, or whatever your creative endeavor.

All sounds were recorded with a DPA 5100 surround microphone into either a Sound Devices recorder or an SSL interface.
