Last post was on Soundsnap which reminded me of another great site filled with free samples Opsound. Both these sites are give a place for all those unused samples and sounds forgotten on our hard drives to go to maybe used by another. A nice idea that someones sound that didn’t work out or some gift snippet could become inspiration for another.
Another great source for free samples is the Internet Archive. They have audio but the really cool stuff is the video they have especially The Prelinger Archive. This collection of ephemera is great for cutting up and setting it to your music. And there are a million lines of nutty vocals just waiting stripped off and loaded into a sampler.
Besides the music and media possibilities you just might learn something(from a turtle even) like how to survive a nuclear holocaust from the 1951 classic Duck & Cover.
