Because I'm a huge fan of the pc game Legend Of Grimrock, I was checking their blog and they explained how the did the atmosphere sounds

check this blog: http://www.grimrock.net/2012/07/18/making-of-grimrock-ambient-tracks/
and this video about the granulator used to make the sounds, pretty interesting stuff:

That was very interesting and useful. I know a friend of mine will be very excited by this. His music is based on soundscapes a lot, and he is always looking for more samples to work with. With this, it looks like you can make useful pads out of pretty much anything intuitively.

yeah it's great because you don't need to buy a really expensive library when you can create your own one
