I created a spooky soundtrack that sounds like it belongs in a horror shooter videogame cutscene. Imagine waking up in a dark unknown forest. Shadowy figures weaving through and flying above the trees. The camera pans down to alien looking technology attached to various parts of the players body making ominous beeps and boops. There is massive silhouette in the distance. The footsteps can be felt through the grounds and the vibrations of its growl make vision blurry.

I used Studio One for the sound effects and instrument recording on this assignment. My favorite part about the soundtrack is the quiet background music behind all of the effects. I took a classic drum track and slowed the tempo down to keep the ominous tone. It was still missing something, so I plugged in my bass and used heavy distortion to get those scratchy low notes.

Everything layered together gives the spooky ambiance that I was looking for. There are a couple parts where all of the effects go silent and it is just the music. Those moments give a sense that it might be over. However, the groans and booms of monsters looming return louder and closer after each silence.
