Recorded by Gordon Hempton – The Sound TrackerĀ®
New and truly fascinating: CANYONS is a SFX library from our remarkable series of high quality nature recordings by Emmy-winner and nature recording genius Gordon Hempton. He has searched the globe for more than three decades to record nature at its most pristine.
Beautiful echoes for absolutely authentic ambiences
Canyons have bright reflections and a deep resonant echo, making them a Holy Grail for nature sound libraries. The key to using Canyons to produce compelling sound designs is paying attention to the echoes as they vanish into a seemingly never ending space, allowing them to change and transform as they flow down a rock-walled corridor to ultimately disappear below the threshold of hearing.
Available in 5.0 surround

What we recorded
We made use of some really rare and vintage but also modern and unique analog devices such as the Ampex AG-440 analog tape recorder from 1969, the NED Synclavier, Yamaha CS-60, Rhodes Chroma, E-Mu Emulator II, ā just to mention a few of them.
Here are some of the devices we recordedĀ to design the unique sound we had in mind.
