There’s music everywhere!

Everyday Sounds is a collection of Ableton Live Instruments made from samples found around my house and in daily routines. Samples include my voice, piano, guitar, and dog Vera. There are tools and bells, machines and their digital chimes, a squeaky door, and summertime crickets. Each sound is transformed into musical instruments for use in your own projects.

Requires Ableton Live 11.2.5 Standard or Above


There’s Music Everywhere, You Just Have to Listen

Everywhere we go, we are surrounded by sound. Every sound we hear has potential to become music.

Over the last 12 years, I’be been building sample-based instruments from all kinds of sounds. Sometimes I have a pretty good idea of what the result will be, but often I’m surprised at what I hear.

Many of my favorite creations come from sounds that aren’t musical at all.

For this collection of Ableton Live Instruments, I decided to sample sounds I encounter every day. Household tools, squeaky doors and chairs, electronic beeps, my dog’s voice, my voice, interference sounds, and many more make their way into the Everyday Sounds Ableton Live Pack.

This is a creative noise-making instrument made with a Dremel tool.

A squeaky chair became a surprisingly useful collection of strings and pad sounds.

With excitement about going outside, my dog Vera let out a soft moan that is now an expressive instrument.

My refrigerators chiming sound becomes etherial and mystical with a little touch of Reverb and Delay.

I sang a simple “oooo” sound and managed to get electric keys sounds that have organic texture and soul.

Turn My Ordinary Sounds into Your Extraordinary Music

If you want to add something special and unique to your music, don’t reach for the same sounds everyone else is using. Everyday Sounds supplies you with a wide range of instruments that resemble pads, pianos, synths, voices, risers, transitional sweeps, and more, all built from unusual sources.

Each sound has a special personality and texture that can take your music to new places.
