The samples in Dystopia Diary were meticulously collected, curated, and edited by Ocean Swift Synthesis over more than 20 years. While most content is entirely original, a few sounds began as public domain sources, each heavily processed and reimagined. Every sample has been crafted to inspire and immerse, offering a diverse range of sonic possibilities.
- Carpets: Long, evolving soundscapes perfect for creating backdrops and setting a scene.
- Industry: The grind and hum of construction, machinery, generators, and industrial drones.
- Military: Sounds of planes, drones, tanks, alarms, UAVs, and military convoys bring tension and intensity.
- Noise: Pure and atmospheric noise sources, both synthesized and sampled, drawing inspiration from Porphyra Hybrid and expanded with additional content.
- Outside: A spectrum of environmental sounds, from nature to urban ambiences—birds, beaches, rain, church bells, lawnmowers, and more.
- Chatter: Captured shortwave radio transmissions, police and air traffic scanners, old answering machines, and public domain government recordings—textural and evocative.
- Twilight: Shortwave radio weirdness—surreal, mysterious, and perfect for stepping into the sonic unknown.
- Transport: The hustle of airports, trains, cars, buses, and traffic-related soundscapes.
- Tune: Playable drones and tuned atmospheres crafted from Ocean Swift’s own synth creations, including Scope DSP platform patches and VSTs like Aeolian Meditation and Polyphenon.
- Untune: Untuned atmospheres with tonal richness but no defined pitch, synthesized or sampled from the same sources as the Tuned category.
- Elmooht: Rare tracks from Elmooht, an Ocean Swift founder’s experimental ambient alias, transformed into eerie, melancholic soundscapes and deep drones.
