Company history
Established in 1998 in Seattle, Washington by Barry Dowsett and Kevin Tone. Working together in the recording industry as sound designers and musicians, they recognized the need for audio content designed for use and delivery over the internet. This use included the emerging world of interactive media and devices. Initially providing custom sound design and Foley for interactive and web based projects, within months of founding of the company, Soundrangers began developing and distributing a library of original sound effects and production music. This library was the first newly developed sound library created specifically for interactive media and available for audition and download over the internet.
As one of the earliest companies delivering sound files over the internet, Soundrangers was the first to use several features common today in the field of online sound libraries. Including instant streaming audition of individual sound files, automated delivery of content via download and selectable audio file formats.
