THE WHOOSH

For The Whoosh we did quiet some research. Again we wanted to come up with fresh and unique sound effects so we tested all kinds of things and build our own custom made whoosh devices.

TONSTURM 03 I The Whoosh:
We build a wooden bullroarer with three thick rubber bands which is emitting very cool deep and droning sounds. We also took big plastic pipes which we prepared in a special way so that we got these nice howling pass by sound effects.
Furthermore we recorded the sounds of arrows passing by and curly steel shreds fired by a slingshot. These arrows were prepared with different kinds of whistles, fluttering magnetic tape and burning cloth. We also build a big fireball with which we performed huge fire whoosh effects.
Again we recorded the sounds at different locations and some devices were recorded in the field and in this very nice sounding wooden orchestra hall.
Certain devices like our custom bull roarer had a really thick pleasing sound when recorded in this orchestra hall. Something that you can not reproduce with a plugin reverb!

The Whoosh Processed Expansion Pack:
This expansion pack was realized in collaboration with Georg Rohbeck and Jedsound. It offers two flavors: Analog & Digital. For the Analog part, Georg Rohbeck used carefully selected high-end analog outboard equipment. He shaped our original source material during extensive processing sessions into punchy, hot and creamy growling sound effects.
The digital part was exclusively designed by Jedsound on the powerful Kyma Pacarana workstation and offers rich and characterful transwarped mutations of the original source material.

The Whoosh Original version offers you high quality source material to design the coolest sounding whoosh and pass by sound effects.
The Expansion Pack offers you an unique and characterful collection of sound effects carefully shaped and processed by only using the source material of The Whoosh.
