Release

Author: astroid on December 13 2006

--> sorry about releasing again so soon.

this is a little sound design novella i made a bit ago.

the plot is rather silly. i'd tell you my plot, but maybe it's better to leave that to the listener.

best listened to on headphones.

8 minutes long.

The songy parts are arsesome! I think the narrative might be helping the build-up. You've invented a new genre!

Nice samples. There's something near the start that sounds exactly like the metallic scrape you get when using the gravity gun on a car in hl2.

Love the reverby musicbox section with switching reverb room sizes too. Fantastic.

Sharp and naturally compressed.

Sweet!

shit, this is awesome, the first part where it transitions from sound to music is so awesome, because you've established a place, and then you started ripping it up, its shocking and awesome. THe later parts lack that same sort of punch, but are still nice pieces of music.

I don't know if you want to do this, but you could try extending that first part into a longer song.
great stuff as usual.
