Homeless Balloon - Frozen Waterfall

Опубликовано 3 октября 2021, 10:28

One of my most interesting projects was to compose original music for the Radio Fantasy Series "Order and Chaos" ("Orden og Kaos") that my friend Arnfinn Sørensen (Christensen) wrote and produced for radio (NRK) back in 1998. I have found many unused sounds and musical pieces from that project, and I have now picked up these audio files and created "Frozen Waterfall". MetaSynth by U&I Software was my main instrument when creating the sounds and effects for this composition. I have tried to illustrate how a waterfall freezing to ice can sound. The purpose is not to create a realistic sound, but to let the listener feel the power of the water and the drama that unfolds when a waterfall is freezing to ice. I have used recordings of both running water, splashes and waterfalls, and I have combined them with heavy drum sounds and screaming metal pitched down or stretched (in the Effects Room in MetaSynth). From my work with sound design through the years, I have learned that if I want a really heavy sound, I should stack several similar sounds on top of each other. - You can read more about this track and how I used MetaSynth in the 26 page digital Booklet that comes with the download of the album at Homeless Balloon's Bandcamp page.
