FX009 MUD POOL X HYDROPHONE
On the same road trip to Ruapehu (See HISSandaROAR’s New FX009 METAL GATE CREAK), Tim Prebble also revisited a large-scale mud pool near Rotorua and recorded the geothermal activity using a pair of Aquarian H2A hydrophones. Tim had checked with Aquarian Audio that their hydrophones could cope (they confirmed they have boiled them when testing!) but he started out cautiously, dropping the hydrophones into bubbling mud near the edge of the pool, listening, then retrieving them to check the temperature.
Half an hour later Tim Prebble was attempting to land the hydrophones right out in the middle of the pool, and it was fascinating to listen to so much activity below the surface, and with such variety and range, by moving the hydrophones. Eventually, Tim landed them right on a gloopy bubbling mud vent and captured individual bubbles, as well as later risking them in a small fumarole.
Thankfully the hydrophones coped fine and the only challenge was getting the mud off everything: the hydrophones, cables, recorder bag, and Tim!
MUD, EVERYWHERE!
Check out the Making Of video below – in total twelve different pairs of locations in the mud pool were recorded. The resulting library is delivered as stereo .WAV files for convenience but is really dual mono as there is no stereo correlation between the two hydrophones. While the H2A microphones do not capture a lot of high-frequency content when in mud, the low frequencies are quite extraordinary and while editing I often felt the air movement from my subwoofer.

Tim Prebble’s (Hissandaroar) Leather Jacket
When Tim Prebble bought his first leather jacket, he had no idea that he would one day become obsessed with the material. But over the years, he has come to appreciate the unique properties of leather.
Leather is strong yet flexible, durable yet soft, and it develops a rich patina over time. Tim’s first jacket was made from a beautifully soft hide, and it quickly became his favorite piece of clothing. It was comfortable and stylish, and it served him well for many years.
But as Tim’s obsession with leather grew, he realized that he wanted to record the sound of leather in all its subtlety and complexity. So he set out to create a library of leather sounds, using two of his own jackets as the source material. The result is a fascinating collection of sounds that captures the unique character of this remarkable material. Thanks to Tim’s obsession, we can now enjoy the sound of leather in all its richness and detail. Who knows what Tim will be obsessing about next?
Tim’s heavy-duty biker’s leather jacket is a beautiful thing. It’s big and bulky, with big zips and beautiful red tartan lining. But it’s not just a pretty face; this jacket has been through some tough times. Tim and his jacket have had some great adventures together, but both are now retired.
Thanks to their age, they produce some lovely characterful leather creaks, but they’re far more subtle than the heavy leather in the SOFA library. Even though they’re retired, Tim and his jacket still have plenty of life left in them. They may not be able to take on the world like they used to, but they can still enjoy each other’s company and create some amazing memories.
UFX017 LEATHER JACKET is available now. It is a 1.28GB download • 2.02GB as 82 x 24bit 96kHz .WAV files with metadata & photos. For a 33% Early Bird Discount please use coupon code: “RIP”, the discount expires May 22nd, 2022.
AMB019 RAIN RHYTHMS, This library is a crossover between an ambiance library and a polyrhythmic pattern library! Selected from over 14 hours of multitrack recordings, captured during two days of Summer rain.
By strategically placing inverted metal trashcans below cracks in the clear light roof of the porch at the back of Tim Prebble’s house, the leaking drips perform very interesting rhythms.

The library is arranged chronologically, with 12 selections from my earliest recordings up to my most recent ones. Each selection is 5 minutes long and presents a different facet of my work with MKH8040 microphones.
The first recording captures the general ambiance of my work environment, while the second one features the MKH8050 inside a single trashcan, pounded out a beat. Each subsequent recording features a different sound or technique that I have explored with these versatile microphones.
As a result, the library provides a comprehensive overview of my work with MKH8040 microphones and is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in exploring their potential. Thanks for listening!
Following that, there were 17 sequences of 5-minute selections recorded with three trashcan mics throughout the course of a full day’s work.
