Field & Foley Kookaburra Bushland WAV
Australia is home to an entirely unique ecosystem of plants and animals cut off and protected from the rest of the word. With this unique ecosystem comes a unique soundscape of birds, insects, and animals with their own unusual mating calls, shrieks, and songs. While back home, composer and producer Liam Fox O’Brien went on a deeply nostalgic treasure hunting mission, after having not been home for 3+ years since Covid, to document and collect these rich sounds of the surrounding bushland and countrysides outside of Melbourne.
Mostly made up of sounds of the wild life of the rainforest, oceanic, and swampland areas Kookaburra Bushland is a fantastic resource of native Australian sounds that can’t be found anywhere else. Rich in dynamics and various frequency spectrums each bird call or insect has its own niche amidst the cacophony. These sounds were also flipped by Liam into incredibly cool pads, synths, drones, leads, arps and drum kits that can be used in avant guard production. This pack lets you literally sample Australia.
Looming in the background of some of the recordings are sounds of ominous construction and signs of humanity encroaching on these precious ecosystems. These sounds are deeply personal to Liam and to most Australians and this pack is a reminder for all of us to protect the natural areas that are important to us. So help Liam turn these beautiful nostalgic sounds into magic and keep the sounds of the bushland alive.
