Abstract sound earns its place precisely by not being recognisable.

A concrete recording tells the audience what it is; an abstract one leaves the picture to say that. This collection is built for the second job — otherworldly material for sound designers, filmmakers and musicians pushing at the edge of what a scene can be scored with.

At a Glance

  • 497 files, 497 sounds The same number twice — one sound per file
  • 4.13 GB Delivered at 24 bit / 48 kHz
  • Six families counted Science-fiction soundscapes, glitchy electronics, electromagnetic buzzes, metallic squeaks, resonant whooshes and abstract drones — counted off the field’s own sentences
  • Metadata included Which matters more here than anywhere: abstract material is unfindable by ear and has to be findable by tag
  • Royalty-free No further clearance for commercial use
  • Two registers in one set Short glitches and squeaks against long drones and whooshes — transitions and beds from the same palette

02The Six Familiescounted off the description itself▾
Sci-fi soundscapesThe wide beds, where the scene is somewhere that does not exist
Glitchy electronicsShort, broken material — the part that reads as a system failing
Electromagnetic buzzesThe electrified layer, closest to a real recorded source and still unplaceable
Metallic squeaksPhysical and unpleasant in a useful way; the texture that makes an abstract scene feel solid
Resonant whooshesMovement, and the most directly usable element for a transition
Abstract dronesThe long sustain a whole sequence can be built over

The hardest thing about abstract sound is retrieval, not creation. Five hundred unnameable files are worth having only if they are tagged, which is why the metadata line matters more on this card than on any other in the set.
