The songs within this folder are all included in a concept album I am working on called ‘The Apophis Festival’. They are either an interlude, a transition or a rough idea of one of the songs, and I picked these specific ones as they incorporate different elements of sound design or world building.

Tracks like ‘Asteroid Song’, Out of the Forest’, ‘Peyote
Prophecies’ and ‘The Graciousness’ are all interlude/ transitional songs that are meant to help build the world around the listener whilst one song ends and the other
begins. ‘Asteroid Song’ is special as I am trying to emulate what I would imagine to be an exaggerated version of a giant asteroid passing by up close. To create this emulation, I layered different sounds I created from scratch based on certain ranges of the EQ Band, tracks for the low end, some for the mid and some for the high. I then took these tracks and panned them left and automated the to the right as it gets louder to make it
feel like it’s getting closer. Once it starts lowering in volume and moving more to the right, it slowly feels like it floats away to the left of us out into the distance. I also added in my own emulation of what we humans have recorded to be the sound of two black holes colliding at a fast speed, this is what the ‘bird call’ sound
is throughout this interlude. I enjoyed this small project as I had a lot of fun researching and understanding the sounds we have recorded from space and how we can even fathom those sounds.

‘The Forest’ is one of my favourites as it always takes me through this fairy-like forest with magical bird calls, bright alien flowers that bloom when you touch them, glowing bugs and the trees all glow in a neon blue colour when you step near them. I used my Moog Sub37 and DeepMind12 to create all the sounds for this.
Finally, there are two more songs called ‘Deep Meditate’ and ‘It Had Three Faces’ which I added to this list since they both mix atmosphere/world with harmonic and
melodic musicality.

All of these songs/interludes/transitions have plenty of
imaging work put into it, I heavily enjoy challenging myself to make my songs sound as if they are happening in front and around you, so that my listeners are almost hypnotised to listen and pay more attention to the deeper details in my work.

All works within this playlist displays my work within soundtrack ideas or ambient songs that I can imagine working with some video game worlds.
