/files/samples/

This directory contains a few archives of audio samples that I thought might
make interesting source materials for other composers.  I am releasing all
of the files in this directory (only) into the public domain.  This means
that I created them but they are not copyrighted and can be used by anyone
for any purpose without my permission and without paying any royalty.  If
you do use them for something interesting, I would be happy to hear from
you.

The first and main collection is a set of speech consonants (performed by
yours truly ;).  I have not finished this little project yet -- not
all of the common English consonants are included -- but I think it makes an
interesting collection of "percussion" sounds anyways.  This archive is at

and a demo "drum loop" using these sounds is at

I have posted two other small archives.  The first
contains two samples of vocal noises in original and "stretched" forms.  The
stretched versions were processed with the granular synthesis program
MacPOD.  Download here:

The last archive contains just one sample of some windchimes:

The contents of each ZIP archive are available uncompressed for previewing at

Enjoy!
