What is it About?
Create an original and amazing Soundscape Sound Design about 15 - 35 seconds max
What is a Soundscape?
Think a new World. Atmosphere and movement! Myst and wonder, like a cinematic background sound of a movie.
Soundscape consists of atmospheric like sounds and textures. It may include musical elements, progressions and drums too but the overall feel should be atmospheric, otherworldly and abstract , not dance music, or hard hitting rhythmic beats and drums.
We are not looking for a usual kind of music with chord progressions, rhythm or melodies to be in focus, we are looking for something atmospheric unique and original for a nice sound "journey".
You can use sound effects of any kind, real or electronic, samplers , synthesizers, real instruments, any kind of software. You can "spice" it up with various sfx too like: footsteps, scary sounds, pads, real recordings, noises etc
