Cascadia - Flowing Water
Cinematic Rivers Creeks Streams & Waterfalls From across his homeland in the Pacific Northwest Nick brings you Flowing Water. A curated collection of pristine water flowing down mountains and through valleys of the Cascades, Olympic alpine, and beyond. This library is pure water and free of other creature or external sound. Recorded over years while hiking this vast wilderness these creeks, streams, rivers, and falls are carefully selected as the most musical and dynamic. Almost completely loop-able, Flowing Water comes with extensive metadata and is UCS compliant. The focus of this collection is to include a variety of water movement sounds; a babbling brook, a rushing river, a gentle stream, building into the full cacophony of thundering waterfalls makes for a diverse library. These sounds are captured from various perspectives, such as close-up recordings of individual drops or rivulets and wider recordings that portray an ambience of a waterfall or a riverbank.
