Kojkibass SFX
These sounds, collected and curated by Kojkibass S, offer a unique glimpse into a world of auditory experiences. From the creaking of a door to the vast expanse of space, each sound tells a story, painting a vivid picture in the mind of the listener. The sharp, metallic clang of a carraca in a mechanic's workshop, the rhythmic tapping of keys on a vintage typewriter, and the gentle splashing of water in a tranquil fountain all come together to create a symphony of everyday noises. It is as if Kojkibass S has captured the essence of life itself in these audio snippets, allowing us to immerse ourselves in a world of sound and sensation.
One of the sounds featured in this collection is that of a door being opened and closed. The distinctive "sinte" of the hinges, as they move, is both familiar and comforting, evoking memories of entering and exiting various spaces throughout our lives. Whether it be the squeak of a wooden door in an old house or the smooth slide of a glass door in a modern office building, the sound of a door has a certain universality to it, connecting us all in a shared experience of coming and going. It is a sound that is both practical and symbolic, marking transitions and signaling new beginnings.
Another intriguing sound in this compilation is the clatter of a carraca in a workshop. This unique tool, used for changing tires, emits a high-pitched metallic noise that is both sharp and authoritative. The word "carraca" itself is somewhat obscure, conjuring images of skilled craftsmen and bustling auto repair shops. The sound of a carraca in action is a reminder of the importance of precision and skill in any trade, as well as the satisfaction of a job well done.
The rhythmic clicking of keys on a vintage typewriter is another captivating sound that is featured in this collection. The mechanical clatter of the keys as they strike the paper is oddly soothing, transporting us back to a time when writing was a tactile and deliberate process. The word "plano general" is used to describe the wide shot of the typewriter, capturing not only the sound but also the visual rhythm of the keys in motion. It is a sound that is redolent of nostalgia and creativity, reminding us of the power of words to shape our thoughts and experiences.
In contrast to the quiet elegance of the typewriter, the sound of water splashing and bubbling in a fountain is a more lively and dynamic addition to this collection. The "chapoteo" of water hitting the surface and the gentle "burbujas" of bubbles rising evoke a sense of movement and vitality. The sound of water has long been associated with renewal and refreshment, symbolizing the ebbs and flows of life itself. It is a sound that is both soothing and invigorating, reminding us of the beauty and power of nature.
The collection also includes more unexpected sounds, such as the steady cadence of a military march without reverb. The staccato beat of drums and horns at 140 beats per minute creates a sense of urgency and intensity, mirroring the disciplined precision of a marching band. The word "reverb" is used to describe the absence of echo or reverberation in the recording, highlighting the crispness and clarity of the sound. It is a sound that is bold and commanding, capturing the spirit of strength and unity.
Finally, the collection concludes with the abrupt and jarring sound of an engine starting. The sharp "arranque" of the motor coming to life is a visceral reminder of the power and potential of machinery. The word "motor" is a reminder of the mechanical nature of the world around us, as well as our ability to harness and control that power for our own purposes. It is a sound that is both exhilarating and foreboding, signaling the beginning of a journey into the unknown.
