Singing Bowl Sample Pack by Ben Burns
Singing Bowl Sample Pack by Ben Burns
Ben Burns picked up a trio of singing bowls back in February when Ben was in Tucson, AZ. He hasn’t had a lot of time to play with them, but with the mounting stress of the past few months, it’s been nice to have a mental focus point to meditate on. Ben is not super great at meditation, but these simple, beautiful tones do help with calming the mind.
This sample pack contains over 10 minutes of rich sounds of three sizes of singing bowls. Ben picked these singing bowls up back in February and it’s been on his list to record the beautiful meditative tones they generate. He also put a handful of dry beans in the bowls and let them sing with some extra fizzled texture on the top. Really amazing stuff.
This audio was recorded using a handheld Zoom h4N using LOM USI microphones. The audio was very minimally processed to even out volume levels.

For a more in depth explanation of this pack and some example sounds check out the preview video below.
This pack is inspired by granular synthesis. Specifically stretching out tones and sounds into long drones using software like Paulstretch. This captures four different sounds (piano, rhodes, bells, and chimes) and allows you to sweep between them.
This library is compatible with Kontakt 5 and above. If you don’t use Kontakt, you can download the raw samples used to make the instrument as a ZIP file as well.

Here are the current sounds in this free pack!
- Madameberry Stream Sounds
- Melon Sounds
- Chair Mat Sounds
- Electromagnetic Sounds
- Organic Wooshes Sounds
- Cat Meow Sounds
- Record Fuzzies
- Small Can Sounds
- Paper Cutter Sounds
Madameberry Stream Sounds: I’ve used sounds captured from Madameberry’s Twitch channel over the past few years. In this pack I went through her saved clips for funny/interesting highlights.
Melon Sounds: Twitch viewer CaptSubtle suggested that I make a pack from a coconut, but since that’s hard to find in a Minnesota Winter, he was OK with me mangling a melon instead.
Chair Mat Sounds: Every time I vacuum the studio, I end up making weird sounds with my chair mat. Decided to record them and share them with everyone! Creates some amazing pitched noises.
Electromagnetic Sounds: Twitch viewer NazyNateSoundDesigner suggested I make some more electromagnetic samples. I swept my EM pickup around parts of my studio (computer, laptop, phone). Lots of crazy glitched sounds. I have a full Electromagnetic sample pack as well!
Organic Wooshes Sounds: Twitch viewer NazyNateSoundDesigner suggested I make organic woosh and swoosh sounds. I found some really cool household objects that made some really distinct sounds! Specifically a spatula and swinging the end of a power cable.
Cat Meow Sounds: Twitch viewer ArcadeCaio suggested that I make a sample pack from cat meows. I couldn’t get a super clean recording environment for these, but I’d like to think that the background noise adds to their charm a bit.
Record Fuzzies: This is one that’s been sitting around on my computer for a long time and someone in chat suggested that I bring it out into the world. This contains recordings of dusty records for that authentic lo-fi fuzz. I’m looking forward to using these!
Small Can: These are sounds of flicking, dropping, plucking, and generally abusing a small soda can. Not much more I can describe here, honestly.
Paper Cutter: Clean binaural recording of a plastic paper cutter. Includes sounds of shuffling and fluttering paper too!
