A Journey of Dedication and Danger
Creating a library of authentic thunderstorm sound effects is no small feat—it’s a perilous endeavor. Audio engineer Matt Mikkelsen dedicated years to tracking down the most intense storms, collaborating with meteorologists, and braving extreme weather with cutting-edge recording gear. On one unforgettable occasion, a lightning strike came dangerously close, underscoring the raw power he sought to capture. ‘Storms are wild and unpredictable,’ Mikkelsen shares. ‘Some days, you chase for hours only to return empty-handed. Other times, they come too close for comfort.’
