Anxiety Dance- Sound Design

Laura approached me over Christmas to ask if I could do the sound design for her and Lauren's dance piece. I said I would need to do a mock up of some sound design, to get an idea of the complexity and the length of time it would take me to complete the work as I'm working on other projects as well.

I asked Laura for her storyboards and some reference material and she linked me to a piece from the Utopia soundtrack that they liked the sound of for me to try and create something similar. As a starting point I tried to pretty much recreate it to an extent in order to get an idea of how it's done and then divert from it according to the rest of the film.



This is what I created quickly:


The whole process took me a couple of hours as I figured out what to start off with and overall I found the process fairly easy. I just took a few organ notes using a virtual instrument using Pro Tools and then played around with the distortion, reverb, and other sounds to end up with what I did. Although I feel like there is too much distortion on the piece, I've got the general jist of it now.
