"I originally picked the ship sound because it had a naturally organic industrial sound. I enjoy the drone it provides. I ended up stretching the sound out to create the base layer of this track. Once I had that down I added some wind to add to the chill.
"I layered some wind harp and frequency waves to go along with everything. I added some old recordings from a phonograph to give the element of outdated tech. Throughout the piece I placed the original sound file and faded in and out of it. I have always been a fan of the Franklin Expedition story. I figured since the sound files were recorded in such a cold climate; it would be a great time to create a track based off the cold and dark story."
