Sonora Cinematic releases Fieldworks Vol. 1 and updates Harmonic Bloom to v1.2

Sonora Cinematic has announced the release of Fieldworks Volume 1 as well as an update for its sound design tool, Harmonic Bloom.

Fieldworks Volume 1 is a diverse and versatile collection of raw and processed royalty free experimental field recordings that can be used for music and sound design.

From the mesmerising sound of bath bombs dissolving in water meticulously captured through a pair of high quality hydrophones to earth movements recorded with a geophone, Fieldworks Vol 1 is packed with extraordinary sonic textures.

Recorded at 192 kHz and 32-bit floating, and delivered in both 192 kHz 24-bit and 48 kHz 24-bit WAV files, Fieldworks can be stretched, pitch-shifted and mangled as you please for a unique auditory experience.

Whilst a useful source of sounds in its own right, Sonora Cinematic says Fieldworks really excels when used with Harmonic Bloom - Sonora Cinematic's sound design tool:

Simply drag and drop one of the Fieldworks sounds into the GUI and start extracting harmonics to obtain a musical pitch. Use the built-in LFOs to independently modulate the panning, volume and filters of each single harmonic and add a second layer from a curated selection of deep sampled sound sources – creating lush, evolving soundscapes is as easy as turning just a few knobs.

What's more, thanks to the new Harmonic Bloom v1.2 update also released today, you can now save patches that use your own samples (or those from Fieldworks) as snapshots and recall them in your DAW session.

Fieldworks Vol. 1 is available now for £10 (ex VAT). Existing Harmonic Bloom customers can take advantage of an introductory price of £5 until 30th Septembe, r 2023 - visit the Fieldworks product page here for full details.

In addition, to celebrate its update, Harmonic Bloom is available to buy with a 25% discount throughout September. Buy it and get Fieldworks for £5.
