Submerging rhythms

Dec 17, 05:16 PM

"I was struck by the constant rhythm underneath the recorded speech and the bangs and clangs of peoples’ feet moving through the submarine, and these were my starting points. I took some of those bangs and clangs and made machine-like sounds and created some of my own rhythms. 

"I edited the speech recordings into sections to break up what would be the top line (like a vocal line). I liked the bleeps of the submarine, and this became one of my underscore sounds; and I found a drone I created for another project and used that as another underscore sound. 

"I tried to use some slightly out of this world reverbs to give the impression of being underwater and make it slightly ominous in feeling."
