Patagonia Elements
A sample pack recorded over 14 days in Torres del Paine with Chilean band Boraj. Drums, vocals and guitars captured inside caves, forests and mountain valleys, using nothing but the natural acoustics that were already there. No plugins. No convolution. Just the real thing.

We’ve always been obsessed with reverb.
Not the plugin. The real thing — the way a sound travels out into a space, hits stone or trees or open air, and comes back changed. Every producer reaches for a reverb they love. We started wondering what would happen if we stopped reaching for a plugin or a piece of hardware and went to find it in nature instead — turning making music into an adventure, instead of just facing a computer.
So we went to Patagonia to record them.
A sample pack built entirely from sounds recorded in the wild
Patagonia Elements is a sample pack built entirely from sounds recorded in the wild in Torres del Paine. Together with Boraj we hauled a working studio into the mountains and spent two weeks chasing the exact spots where the sounds got magical.
Every sample in this pack carries the acoustics of the place it was recorded in — a cave, a forest, a rock face, an open expanse of mountain. It’s reverb you can’t dial in, because it took a national park and a lot of walking to make.
Pick a sample and press play.
Real natural reverb on every sound — nothing added in the box. Captured across caves, forests, mountains and valleys, then delivered dry-and-wet where it counts.
Snares and drums with a mountain tail
Drum hits and full kit takes tracked out in the open across the Serón valley and beyond. The mountains gave these a decay no plugin has gotten close to — some of our favorite sounds in the whole pack.
We fit an entire studio into two backpacks
Four MacBook Pros running Pro Tools (swapped one by one as batteries died), external SSDs, a bus-powered Apogee interface, and a battery big enough to drive a headphone amp for eight players — with a level pot on every extension so each musician could mix themselves thirty feet apart on a mountainside.
The famous lookouts sound dead. So we went off-trail — walking with a snare, hitting it or singing as we moved, listening for the moment a space came alive. When we found it, we set up right there and recorded until nightfall.

Vocals inside Milodón Cave
We recorded vocals inside Cueva del Milodón — a stone cathedral with human trails going back 11,000 years. The rangers walked the whole tour at our backs, until they learned we were “computer guys” and their station had been offline for a month. Nico got them back online; after that they brought us coffee and cookies while we worked there for two days.
The realm of the pumas
On one long walk we watched a puma mother teach her cubs to hunt. Later, heading into a forest, we found the fully eaten remains of an animal the size of a horse. That was the day it hit us that we were recording deep in wild country — terrifying, thrilling, and completely worth it.
Snares in Serón
Some sounds you know the second you hear them. The snare hits we tracked in the Serón valley are some of our favorites in the whole pack — the mountains gave them a tail no plugin has ever gotten close to.
The location film, plus more from the community.
Spaces no one else has
If you make music, this is a unique set of samples no one else has. Producers, beatmakers, film and game composers, sound designers — anyone who wants texture with a real place behind it.
Load it anywhere, use it any way
Load the samples into any DAW or sampler — Ableton, Logic, FL Studio, Pro Tools, whatever you run. Use them dry, use them wet, chop them, pitch them, bury them in a mix. Because the reverb is baked into the recording, you get a sense of space that's almost impossible to recreate with plugins — and you can always add more processing on top.
Questions, answered
Is the reverb real or added afterward?
Real. Every tail you hear came from the actual cave, forest or valley we recorded in. No convolution, no reverb plugins.
Can I use these in commercial releases?
Yes — the pack is 100% royalty-free. Use the samples in any commercial release, with no additional clearance or reporting required.
What formats are included?
WAV at 16-bit / 44.1 kHz, compatible with any DAW or sampler.
Who is Boraj?
A Chilean band we made this whole thing with. Patagonia Elements started as an experiment between us — we were all obsessed with reverb — and turned into a 14-day recording expedition through Torres del Paine.
