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:
