Construction Kit: 693 files at 192 kHzDesigned: 12 creatures in 72 filesBundle: both, at a discount

The sounds that unsettle an audience are the ones evolution already taught them to react to — which is why the convincing alien is built out of real animals.

Donkeys, camels, tigers, Tasmanian devils and koalas; eagles, hawks, owls, vultures and emus; humpback whales on hydrophones. Recorded clean, delivered at 192 kHz, and curated so that no humanoid sound is anywhere in the collection.

At a Glance

  • All three sums agree 693 + 72 = 765 files, 4,278 + 432 = 4,710 sounds, 10.2 + 1.2 = 11.4 GB — every column closes
  • Construction Kit 693 files, 4,278 sounds, 10.2 GB, recorded and delivered at 192 kHz
  • Designed 72 files, 432 sounds, 1.2 GB — twelve creatures, ready to drop in
  • Twelve, counted not claimed three giant, three large, three medium and three small, which is what the field’s own list adds up to
  • Deliberately not human the Construction Kit excludes humanoid sounds, which the field states as the point of difference
  • Recorded around the world MS with a Sanken CO100K for the land and air animals, hydrophones for the whales

The countFour size classes of three, which is the twelve the field states
How they were madeBuilt from the ground up out of the Construction Kit source sounds
03What Was Recordedthe real animals under the aliens▾
Land animalsDonkeys, camels, tigers, Tasmanian devils and koalas — all of which can sound fierce when they want to
BirdsEagles, hawks, owls, vultures and emus
UnderwaterHumpback whale sounds captured with hydrophones, for a layer of cosmic mystery
The rigMS with a Sanken CO100K, which the field calls its beloved combination
Why exotic speciesTheir sonic characteristics are unusual, and they are harder to isolate cleanly in a natural habitat
The result claimedThe cleanest and most malleable set of organic animal recordings the team has made
04What Is In Itthe two layers, and the keyword list as printed▾
Signature vocalisationsSnorts, growls, screeches, screams and chirps, in varying states of excitement and agitation
Prop effectsClicking, slimy, squishy, scratchy and crunchy — the material half of a creature
What they are forLayering species and effects into one voice, so a creature gets an anatomy an audience can hear
Delivery192 kHz on the source recordings, so heavy pitching and stretching stay usable
Drag and dropThe Designed pack is meant to work without further editing
Keywords, as printedALIEN, EXTRATERRESTRIAL, VISCERAL, GRUNT, SNARL, GROAN, SCREAM, SQUEAL, SHRIEK, BRAY, BELLOW, CAW, HISS, CROAK, SNORT, CHIRP, GROWL

Nothing invented from scratch has a body. A scream recorded from a real animal carries lungs, a throat and a distance, and that is the part an audience believes before it has worked out what it is looking at.
