My apologies for cross-posting but please do forward this enquiry to anyone who might be able to help. I am currently planning an exhibition with the National Waterfront Museum in Swansea on 'A World of Welsh Copper'. Our aim is to highlight the global links of the Welsh copper industry, primarily raising awareness of the smelting activities in south Wales but also incorporating all the mining links with north Wales, Cornwall/West Devon and of course beyond in Chile, Cuba, South Africa, Newfoundland and further and nearer afield. As part of this exhibition we are creating a short film which will incorporate a 3D animation of the 19th century smelting works dotted around the lower Tawe valley in Swansea. One of the aspects of this I would like to work on with the makers is the soundtrack/soundscape. Has anyone done this before without resorting to 'stock' sounds of steam beam engines, etc? Are there any relatively good quality soundbanks available for historic industrial sounds? Engines, rolling mills, furnaces, what else? If anyone has any advice on this subject I would be very grateful indeed.
