Thijs screams very loud, torture sounds.
Male_Thijs_loud_scream
History of the sample
The sample, male_thijs_loud_scream was recorded back in the days Than van Nispen t.P. studied biology in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and in his free time participated in projects where sound-fx or film-music were needed.
The sample was recorded late 2001 in his student-apartment for some special effects for an interactive theatre play in which Than helped with sound-fx and foley for short animations...
This time a lot of screams were needed as special effect sounds for some fake 'torturing' device within the play.
Thijs, a friend of Than's, showed the person who was doing some voice over screaming sessions, 'how to do it'.
So... that's why there's currently only 'one' Thijs-sample in my collection...
Apparently it turned out to be sort of an unique and 'lucky' shot!
The sample was recorded at 44.1 KHz with a Shure SM58 microphone and with a Terratec EWS 88 MT sound-card.
When Than learned to know the freesound project he thought that maybe other people could also use this sample and other scream-samples in their work or projects and so finally it ended up in the movie 'Children of Men' and many other movies and games...

History of the sample
The sample, male_thijs_loud_scream was recorded back in the days Than van Nispen tot Pannerden studied biology in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and in his free time participated in projects where sound-fx or film-music were needed.
The sample was recorded late 2001 in his student-apartment for some special effects for a liveroleplaying game in which Than helped with sound-fx and foley for short animations... This time a lot of screams were needed as special effect sounds for some fake 'torturing' device within the game.
Thijs, a friend of Than's (and at that time band-member of Erinyen), showed the person who was doing some screaming sessions, 'how to do it'.
So... that's why there's currently only 'one' Thijs-sample in my collection... Apparently it turned out to be sort of an unique and 'lucky' shot!
The sample was recorded at 44.1 KHz with a Shure SM58 microphone and with a Terratec EWS 88 MT sound-card.
Some years later at the Utrecht School of Arts, in the courses of Jorrit Tamminga, Than wondered what one could do with such a 'noisy' sample and thus reused it in the school-assignment, "One_sample_one_composition".
One_sample_one_composition
A HKU (Utrecht School of Arts) assignment where the students could use only one audio-sample and only old-school ‘delay-based’ effects (tape-delay, reverb, comb-filter etc). and of course cuts-and-pastes. The resulting composition, including explanations of the techniques can be found at:http://ccmixter.org/media/files/thanvannispen/8650
