How To Synthesize Water

Surely one of the most complex sounds to synthesize is water, we're using to replicating trumpets, strings, pianos and the like - but surely water is too detailed and open to a wide range of sounds. Using some excellent resources, Amfivolía explores how this is possible, using a detailed multi-band technique, with pitch and spatial changes simulated, and with some acoustic replication. 

Stunning sound design! Here's more: 

The sounds of water are notoriously difficult to sound design realistically. This video intends to serve as a detailed guide for synthesizing generative flowing water sounds, by emulating the components in real water sources that contribute to the sound.
