TimbreSpace Sample Packs – Exploratory Sound Libraries

A growing collection of handcrafted sample packs, blending analog synthesis, field recordings, experimental processing, and traditional instrumentation. Recorded in various studios, captured from hardware synths, acoustic instruments, and found objects, and processed through granular synthesis, spectral morphing, and dynamic layering techniques – these packs are designed for creative sound exploration.

I’m also curating and organizing open-source stock sounds for testing, making these collections a mix of personal sonic experiments and freely available audio assets, bridging experimental sound design with practical production tools.
