GERMAN AUTOBAHN – HIGHWAY AMBIENCES

.
This is the perfect traffic ambient bed or road background sound for any media production that features highways, interstates, freeways or German Autobahn. For this library I recorded dry, moist and wet road surfaces. I recorded sparse traffic, busy interstates and medium filled highways. The cars, trucks, busses and motorbikes drove slow, medium fast or at high speed.
.
There are highlight sounds like honks or sirens, rattling trucks, creaky suspensions and noisy medians. A lot of pass bys and vrooms. Different perspectives range from close (<4m), medium, distant (>30m), top ( bridge), below (tunnel) to behind noise barrier.
.
Most sounds have been recorded at night to avoid other noises. Few selected feature other noises on purpose, like a cicada chirping at a truck stop or birds in close by trees for a full atmo.
.
Last but not least I recorded some handrails at the Autobahn with a contact mic. These metallic ambiences can be used for experimental sounddesign. Gear used: Sound Devices 744t, Zoom F6, Schoeps CCM4, DPA 4060, Earthworks QTC50, Lewitt 540s, Schertler Contact Mic, Neumann 81i, Ambient Emesser.

About Sound of Essen

Sound of Essen is a project by Nils Mosh, a field recordist, a sound artist and designer from Essen, Germany. In his works, he explores the spirit of sound from various locations. He always listens to the places in their social context and examines them for the interaction between nature and human-made influences. And in between, he simply opts out of the world and falls in love with the sound of the resonances of a handrail or the delicate chirping of a water beetle. In 2017 his recording „Das Team“ won 2nd price at the international radio award "60 seconds" in Canada. Besides recording in the territory of the wolf GW954f from 2019-2022 for the release „Of wolves and people“ (Gruenrekorder 214) with Melissa Pons, he presented sound art work at festivals like Tonwelten Festival (2023), Blaues Rauschen Festival (2023) or Weimarer Sommer (2018). He collaborated with dance & perfomance artists for performances in Montreal, Tel Aviv and across Germany. He also lectures about field recording at the universities in Darmstadt & Duesseldorf. Besides his sound art & field recording work, he also runs the blog Sound of Essen and sells sound effects for games & movies. His focus is on local sounds, which he explores with his deep knowledge of these specific sounds and which are sometimes hard to get in other places of the world. His libraries range from local animals to unique aircrafts and farming machines.
