Three decades of recordings, sold as downloads
Gordon Hempton has recorded natural places for more than three decades. Quiet Planet sells that work as sound libraries: tropical forests, waves, thunder and rain, each a set of high-quality files with metadata that sound designers and film makers can search. The sound library website design had to let a buyer hear each one first.
A buyer of sound needs to hear it first. The store had to let someone listen to a library, understand exactly what is in it, and have the files minutes after paying.
