Description by thanvannispen Thijs screams very loud, torture sounds. Male_Thijs_loud_scream History of the sample The sample, male_thijs_loud_scream was recorded back in the days Than van Nispen t.P. studied biology in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and in his free time participated in projects where sound-fx or film-music were needed. The sample was recorded late 2001 in his student-apartment for some special effects for an interactive theatre play in which Than helped with sound-fx and foley for short animations... This time a lot of screams were needed as special effect sounds for some fake 'torturing' device within the play. 
Thijs, a friend of Than's, showed the person who was doing some voice over screaming sessions, 'how to do it'. So... that's why there's currently only 'one' Thijs-sample in my collection... Apparently it turned out to be sort of an unique and 'lucky' shot! The sample was recorded at 44.1 KHz with a Shure SM58 microphone and with a Terratec EWS 88 MT sound-card. When Than learned to know the freesound project he thought that maybe other people could also use this sample and other scream-samples in their work or projects and so finally it ended up in the movie 'Children of Men'...

Went to see the film back in September. Easily best film of 2006, and my fave in a LONG while.

Although I never heard this scream in the film. I've just watched the DVD back and still can't find it!

About Male_Thijs_loud_scream
History of the sample

The sample, male_thijs_loud_scream was recorded back in the days Than van Nispen tot Pannerden studied biology in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and in his free time participated in projects where sound-fx or film-music were needed.
The sample was recorded late 2001 in his student-apartment for some special effects for a liveroleplaying game in which Than helped with sound-fx and foley for short animations... This time a lot of screams were needed as special effect sounds for some fake 'torturing' device within the game.
Thijs, a friend of Than's (and at that time band-member of Erinyen), showed the person who was doing some screaming sessions, 'how to do it'.
So... that's why there's currently only 'one' Thijs-sample in my collection... Apparently it turned out to be sort of an unique and 'lucky' shot!
The sample was recorded at 44.1 KHz with a Shure SM58 microphone and with a Terratec EWS 88 MT sound-card.
Some years later at the Utrecht School of Arts, in the courses of Jorrit Tamminga, Than wondered what one could do with such a 'noisy' sample and thus reused it in the school-assignment, "One_sample_one_composition".
One_sample_one_composition
A HKU (Utrecht School of Arts) assignment where the students could use only one audio-sample and only old-school ‘delay-based’ effects (tape-delay, reverb, comb-filter etc). and of course cuts-and-pastes. The resulting composition, including explanations of the techniques can be found at:http://ccmixter.org/media/files/thanvannispen/8650

I just watched the movie.

It was a great movie, too. I like the way it was used. I'd like to hear the whole song (the "zen music"), it was cool.

But... from that point on, things went downhill... Kind of a nihilistic film, but a good one nevertheless.

Nicholas cage is one of my new favorite actors. (Besides Philip Seymore Hoffman in "Capote") Which is contradictory to my whole "I hate hollywood" thing, but every movie he's been in has been really good.

Anyways, great sample

I found the music that this sound is added onto for the "zen music" in Children of Men :
http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0LaSTyCN05Gs34A6DB3N8gF/SIG=13g0c5o5t/EXP=1179617538/**http%3A//hurl.samples.dmpcontent.com/scripts/hurl.exe%3Fclipid=033816401040006900%26cid=600109

tell me if you find the mixed version ( or if you remake it yourself , which shouldn't be too hard )
