Intro sounds on Hyperventilate album version

[XeRocks81]

I was watching a documentary on PBS this week, This Emotional Life, and at a few intervals during the show I heard the exact same sequence of sounds from the intro of Hyperventilate, the part before the first piano bit.  Did those come from a sound effects bank of some kind?   I swear for a minute there I really thought they were playing Frost*.

I think Jem said before that they were from a sample library but I can't be sure without a deep search.
Jem's still sorting out move-related issues so prolly won't reply anytime soon.

I've always thought that the warbling intro to Hyperventilate sounds Native American in style; as a former resident of Arizona, I have a few albums of such music.

That said, it didn't immediately strike me that it might be a sample from a library: I could see Jem composing it after a few puffs on the peace pipe down the bottom of his garden

Pedders is right - Jem has stated on here somewhere that the intro bits were from a stock sample library - not sure if that means they'd be credited in the liner notes, if you were trying to find more info ??

...and quite a deep search it was...so deep it had to go back to the old forum!

It's a sample from BT's Twisted Textures CD. It was my secret stash of noises for years, but it seems I've been rumbled!  

The original thread is here if anyone is interested.

Wow -was that really over a year and a half ago? Time flies, to quote Mr Wilson...

Yes, but it was only one album ago...
