Sonomar Collection: Household Treasures

Like a sense memory from your childhood, Sonomar Collection: Household Treasures focuses on the subtle interactions between tiny objects and their containers, yielding a surprising variety of detailed, granular textures. Marbles, screws, and washers clink together and rattle around in metal boxes. Grains, pasta, and seeds are sifted, shaken, and poured from glass and plastic containers. Legos and Scrabble tiles cascade over each other, small paper balls rustle together, and paper clips slide around on cardboard.

Household Treasures captures the familiar sounds of everyday objects and turns them into a playground for your imagination. Grains spilling out of a jar transform into waves on a beach, a metal box of screws gives life to a rusty old robot, and an old coin collection becomes a forgotten treasure trove. With a little creativity, mundane sounds captured in high resolution provide unlimited sound design potential.

The library covers these objects both inside and outside their containers, providing isolated movement and interaction sounds perfect for layering and processing. The containers themselves deliver a useful assortment of Foley, such as lids screwing onto empty jars, faux leather fasteners with metal snaps, and many variations of metal boxes being opened and closed.
