Office Percussion

Featured story

Finding music everywhere we go

In 2019, Splice sound designers recorded the sounds of the Splice HQ office in New York City featuring tape dispensers, sugar packets, paper cutters, staplers, and more. The sounds of the office are presented both in raw, natural recordings, as well as sound designed loops to show how then can be used to create unique musical elements.

Note: These sounds were recorded when Splice was still working in the office, long before the coronavirus pandemic took hold in the US.
