I need to create sound and music inspired by falling and gravity.

Can anyone point to any Sounds available in the user or Kyma database that might work- for example I found the 'bouncing ball' sequence and of course all the slipstick Sounds in Kyma library are fantastic.
But ideally I want to incorporate the acceleration due to gravity of 9.8 metres per second per second into the Sound, and terminal velocity.

Any thoughts?

ShepardContinuousSpectrum feeding into the FilterBank-Resynthesis can impart a subtle, endless sense of falling to whatever you send through the filter. Set Direction to -1 and try an interval of 7.

Another endless falling effect is in the Kyma Sound Library, Effects Processing, Whooshes hits bys, the Sounds called Hell's Elevator and Hellish (more) elevator.

(Do you want the sense of gravity to include the force of impact?)

Hells Elevator is excellent!- thanks. I will try the Shepard tone too.

Impact is not necessary, it's more to do with the sensation of falling and perspective....

(By the way the whole Slipstick file contains nothing but wonderful Sounds, truly inspiring stuff.)
