Resonant Rainfall – Free Sound Download

Captured with a Geofon contact microphone, Resonant Rainfall brings you the deep, tactile vibrations of raindrops hitting a window. Unlike traditional rain recordings, this track reveals the hidden resonance within the glass, translating each droplet into a rich, low-frequency texture. The result is an immersive, intimate soundscape perfect for sound design, ambient compositions, and experimental audio projects.

🔊 A unique take on rain—felt as much as it is heard.

Biotex Late Night Rain

Recording of forest soil and litter layer made near Dawson City, Yukon in northern Canada using contact microphones.

BMG - 25_08_19

This recording is comprised of 41 contact mic recordings of Hukins Hops 1950's Bruff hop picking machinery processing the 2025 hop harvest. The recordings took place on the 9th of September 2025 on site at Hukins Hops in St Michaels, Tenterden, Kent. 

From hooking the bines, threshing and picking hops, separating cones from leaf matter, to conveying to the oast and packing into bales, nearly all parts of the factory processes of picking and separating hops have been captured.

The equipment used was comprised of two Metal Marshmallow Roaster plus Morsel contact mics, blu tac for adhesion to various surfaces on the machinery, with the recording taking place on a SoundDevices MixPre 3 II.

Editing has been performed for balance, employing M/S EQ (reducing side bass, boosting mid bass, and sometimes boosting side highs too), stereo mix adjustment (as all recordings started out as dual mono L + R), and loudness adjustment to BS1770.

Hukins Hops 2025 Harvest Contact Mic Recording

마코 Enp의 데뷔작은 압전 접촉 마이크로 녹음된 질감적 연구들을 풀어낸다. 다양한 오브제들은 서로 다른 주파수와 톤의 소리를 만들어내며, 날카롭고 고요한 배경은 마치 무음의 방처럼 작동해 오롯이 주목해야 할 대상이 오브제 자체의 출력이 되도록 만든다.

재생 시간 3'27''

마코 Enp's debut unravels textural studies recorded with a piezoelectric contact microphone, the varying objects produce sounds with different frequencies and tones; the crisp and silent background creates a silent room where the only subject of attention is the object's output itself.

Runtime 3'27"

Spontaneity with calculation

Marka Tamea is a composer who creates using electro-acoustic experiments, synthesis, and field recordings. The music is characterized by a fusion of the commonplace and the imaginary, the discernible and the esoteric, which is fused with delicately harmony. The resulting experience takes the listener on an emotional journey of exploration while creating a heightened awareness of the environment and the physical world.

Marka has been active in the alternative music scene since the early 1980s and was one of the first to use digital sound modification techniques to create innovative ambient experiences. The musical style and ideology evolved through ongoing collaborations with Kymatik, an experimental collective that challenges the boundaries of sound perception.

To date, Marka has produced ten solo albums and also contributed to compilations including Nijmeegsche Electronische Waar - 4.0, Ressonus Net - Volume One, Gonzo Circus - Mind The Gap, Doppelganger 141 and Voices for Iran – 909 Connection. 2023.

Currently working in The Netherlands.

Let’s make some noise together! 🚀🎙️

Aldarrax is an experimental music and sound art label based in Blanca, a small oasis in the arid regions of Murcia, in southern Spain. The main objective of the label is to connect people and territories through sound, to build community and to make space for experimental sound practices. Half-made music, new collaborations and unorthodox recording techniques are at the core of the label’s editorial line. 

Occasionally, artists are invited to create specific works, proposing collective improvisation sessions to generate spontaneous music. Field recording, soundscape composition and DIY instruments which incorporate local materials are encouraged. We resonate with peripheral, dissident and strange music. Aldarrax holds music as a ritual and animistic tool that strengthens bonds and works on bodies to create altered states of consciousness in autonomous zones. We are interested in repetitiveness, broken rhythms, trance-inducing sounds and durational practices that search for these other realms beyond the human.

Audio Maker and Artist recording and using sound as part of research and the creation of immersive multi media installations and stand alone artworks.
I record Oral history as part of the work I do and use it with soundscape to create work that evokes 'genius loci' streaming together timelines, memories, and events.

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."
