Electric Mine Train


An Immersive PoV Ride down the Shaft on a Mid-Century Electric Mine Train. Captured in AmbiX, includes Bonus Ambience.

Take a Seat and feel the Rumble.


Recently, I visited Grube Wohlverwahrt in my old hometown of Kleinenbremen Germany to capture impulse responses in this century-old mineshaft for a larger library I am working on. A welcome byproduct of this amazingly fun field recording outing were these immersive recordings of the charismatic and somewhat unsettling rumble of the old electric mine train that took us down the shaft.

I captured two 4.5 minute train rides as well as the train shunting back into parking position in the versatile Ambisonics B-Format, allowing you to convert these recordings into almost any format from Stereo to 7.1.4 surround. These recordings are great stand-ins for freight train cars, freight elevators, old subway trains or other rumbly, rugged means of underground transport.

No processing has been applied to make these recordings as flexible as possible.

About me


Hi there! My name is Chris and I'm a sound designer and audio mixing & mastering engineer based in scenic mountain region of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. While my background has been performing and recording music, it was the process of creating my first ever musical sample pack, Low'n'Slow, that truly made me fall in love with sound design in 2019.

These days, I design and implement sound for video games, have sampled rare synthesizers and drum machines, turned field recordings into contemporary hip hop drum kits, and created loops for fellow producers to use.

I strive to provide uncompromising, meticulously captured high-quality audio assets at an affordable price and help creatives at all stages of their career find the right colors for their sonic palette. My Blog also provides insight into my process, and my gear page highlights what equipment I use to create these libraries.
