Pipe In A Lava Field is a collaborative pack made by Hidden Sound and HydraTek.

Starting from the raw, unique recordings made in a very long disused borehole in the middle of an Icelandic lava field, we built some handcrafted inspiring tools for your own creations.

From experimental percussions to unsettling ambiences, from hybrid sampled instruments to intricate foley and evolving soundscapes.. all with those signature insane metallic echoes, delays, and reflections.

Source files recorded with Sound Devices Mix Pre 10, DPA 4060's, and Sennheiser MKH 8020.

A little story about the project:

[Buzby from Hidden Sound]

I found a very long disused borehole in the middle of an Icelandic lava field. I dropped rocks down it, poured water into it, vocalized into it, stroked a rasp file on a plastic bottle stuck into the top of it, and did other experiments. Sound Designer HydraTek has crafted these into a series of experimental Sound Effects and instruments, perfect for music, game, and film projects. "
