Hi,

I am looking for sounds that would be suitable for old machineries, like clockworks, mechanical wheels turning, mechanism speeding up/slowing down, nothing too digital or too magical / surreal.

Any helps would be really appreciated. Thanks

These might be of use:

I will try and record some more today.

Thanks,

Do you have any slowing down/speeding up sounds?

Do you know where I can find more of those kind of mechanical sounds?

Cheers.

Not much slowing and speeding but if you tell me which, if any you like. I'll see what I can do. It might help if you gave a clue as to what you want to create.

Basically for an old (imaginary) occult machinary in a student film project, very much like some props from Brothers Quay films.

There is an old metal wheel that turns quite fast, and speeds up/slows down depends on the scene. Its quite simple mechanism, kind like a manually powered motor that moves a simple piston. The prop itself does not give that old mechanical sound.

I was thinking that a fast turning stone mill could work, but I m no expert in field recording and sampling, and no idea about how to make a stone mill turn fast.
