Halo
About Halo:
Context//
Halo 4 is a sci-fi game developed by 343 Industries and Certain Affinities. This particular animation, directly taken from the game, shows the destruction of the mothership, UNSC Forward Unto Dawn and the reactivation of Spartan hero, Master Chief
My initial thoughts and reactions to this piece was sadness and destruction. I wanted to show the isolation of this environment with recordings of the Moog Minimoog, Number Stations and pads.

Sound Creation:
Development and Process//
Each sound has been created through layering and stacking different elements. I did it like this because I wanted to give the listener a different experience to one they would normally be used to and to mask the original meaning of a sound. To someone who doesn't understand audio quite so well a sound of a door closing will usually represent a door closing but in this case, I want to it represent the moment before something bad happens.
Here are some isolated examples of my final sounds:
