Sounds of the Blender Institute in Amsterdam

Bart · November 15, 2013

A mesmerizing collection of sounds recorded at the Blender Institute by Andy Goralczyk. Can you guess the sounds in the first fragment?

Author Bart

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.

Great one! My guess is : monkeys ? Is there a kind of zoo nearby ? Or maybe exotic birds… :D

  My first reaction was whales floating outside the office, gently in the air.

    Exact, me too! But I thought that whales may be a little far to be heard at this level :P (yes, I’m a bit more Cartesian lol)

Awesome – I’m using this stuff in my next track!

Bart – how about a weekend remix contest using these sounds ? ( just not this weekend cos I’m away :) )
