MEDIEVAL LIFE CONSTRUCTION KIT

COUNTLESS DESIGN POSSIBILITIES

MEDIEVAL LIFE – CONSTRUCTION KIT with hundreds of single stereo source sounds from the categories ACTION, CRAFT, ANIMAL, WORK, VOICE, MECHANICAL as well as hundreds of LOCATION recordings (some of them in Stereo and 5.0 Surround sound) has a size of more than 34GB.

IDEAL FOR HISTORICAL AND FICTIONAL GAMES, MOVIES AND TV

MEDIEVAL LIFE – CONSTRUCTION KIT is a real treasure when it comes to quickly designing the background ambience of a movie or game scene. As the sounds are meant to create a convincing background soundscape, the source sounds were recorded in distance to the microphone to capture the original medieval environments and to provide you with a nice open room environment right from the start without having to add complex synthetic reverb or impulse responses.

BUILD PEACEFUL VILLAGES OR BUSTLING TOWN CENTRES

Close your eyes and imagine the manifold sound atmosphere of medieval places. Imagine farms with cackling chicken, the mowing of sheep, the noise of trotting horse hooves, the opening and closing of old doors and an axe chopping some wood in the background. In the cities and castles, imagine the echoes of distant persons, the shouting of street vendors, the rattling of iron chains and the constant hammering of the blacksmith. They have recorded the sound of this historical era for you with many facets.

WHAT THEY RECORDED

Most of the sounds were recorded in authentic medieval environments in Germany. They went out to visit medieval heritage sites like ruins and castles. For the market place recordings they went to farmers markets around the cathedral in Mainz, Germany that was built around 975 A.D. A perfect place to capture the spirit of medieval market places.
On their trip they recorded the hard life of people living in this era. They recorded medieval farm sounds like animals, mechanics of old tools, hurly-burly on marketplaces, blacksmiths hammering metal and working with wood, church bells, voices and a lot more.

WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS LIBRARY?

Designing the sound for a scene which is set in the medieval times can become a very long-lasting process. Due to the lack of smartphones, TV or even a well-written book, the people back then didn’t sit in their houses the whole day long making no noise at all. Instead they went out on the streets, to the market, they camped, they worked, they drank, the chattered, they yelled, they farmed, they were very noisy or at least busy in a very diverse way. BOOM Library sound designers should keep that in mind when designing a convincing medieval scene that covers that multi-facetted background ambience.
Inspire your audience with the unmistakable sound of the life in the Middle Ages.
