Presence

By Kedbreak136 on June 9, 2024 12:30 am

And now for something completely different.
Some of these sounds are obviously inspired by the movie Arrival and its sound design. I wanted to make it sound like what the wild life on an alien planet might sound like.

› Notes


A nice side excursion into the ambient and strange.  It does a great job of evoking the feeling of an alien landscape with unseen critters making noises from the dark jungles filled with completely unfamiliar foliage.  A little spooky and unsettling but also fun to visit another planet.

The YouTube picture is very nice. A good choice to get lost in, while the music plays. There is a lot going on, but it stays unclear, what, who, where, why, when and how. Nice project, definitely different and still a Kedbreak.

haunting!

this track has "no chill!"

I like how the giant "thing" is in the distance, and then we get caught up in the trees and bushes and lose sight of it - then we are running, trying to hack our way through the jungle, and then we reach a clearing and BOOM - there it is again.

creepy!

Spectacular textures and atmosphere on this one! Love the soundscape type vibe

Oooh that 2nd note got the few hairs remaining on my head standing yikes   Love how that pulsing synth bass plays off the percussion.  Feels like I'm being watched by the "locals".  Oh dang at 3:30 Momma and Poppa alien flexed their muscles yikes This is Close Encounters of some other kind yikes the buzzing is creeeeepy too.  Well done!

Really awesome sounding effects starting from the beginning. Really spooky! The texture is ear candy. Fantastic evolution of the track as well.

Also, Arrival is a fantastic movie. I love those kinds of alien movies where humanity is reacting to the existence of other worldly life forms.

Yeaah, this is awesome, you really managed to capture an eerie, otherworldly feeling. Amazing sound design. Especially liked the more quiet part around 5 min, leading back to the first theme.

I'm sensing the presence all around me. Creepy and mysterious. Great sound design! Putting some things front and back, side to side. Strong presence! Love Arrival. Forgot the music until this. This sounds fun to make, getting lost in journey. Agree, so fun to make some kind of ambient things that don't adhere to normal structure.

It's here...

Great job on this one, some really nice sound design and texture, like that dripping percussion and constant feeling of something moving around you.  Also love the “predator” sounds, watched that movie with the kids a few weeks ago, my son is always trying to make that sound.

Definitely a very cool journey over dangerous and foreign lands.  Some excellent tones in here from the heavier bass tones to the skittering sounds in the second half.  Great stuff.  More of this please!
