#### **Build the world of your story with award-winning quality sound.**

We are proud to introduce [The Odyssey Collection: Ambiences](https://www.prosoundeffects.com/libraries/odyssey-collection-ambiences) – the newest exclusive library curated from the private collection of Academy Award®-winners Mark Mangini *(Blade Runner 2049, Mad Max: Fury Road)* and Richard L. Anderson *(The Lion King, Batman Returns). *Create immersive and authentic backgrounds for any project with vibrant, diverse, high-quality recordings from around the globe – so you can focus on staying creative and delivering your best sound.

*"Because Richard and I were so religious about fresh recordings, it was quite common for us to have a recorder with us everywhere we went: at home, at sporting and social events, local disasters and even on vacations. This allowed us to develop a rich, varied and international scope to our Ambience library without having to actually find money to fund every recording.” ****– *Mark Mangini****  
**

Ambiences are a crucial element to any sound artist’s toolkit. With **over 4,000 sounds** (118GB), Odyssey Ambiences covers your needs for locations both everyday and exotic - from aircraft carriers to the Serengeti, nuclear power plants, brisk Canadian mountain air, Mexican bar walla, a Czechoslovakian office, record pressing factories, Malaysian forests, big cities, small towns and everywhere in-between.

Odyssey Ambiences is the latest individually available library curated from [The Odyssey Collection: Complete](https://www.prosoundeffects.com/libraries/odyssey-collection-complete) – which features the complete private library of Mangini and Anderson built throughout their careers in sound for film.
