“Sound of the Sea” was a project I created whilst beginning my journey with electronic music. The piece features different ocean and aquatic animal sounds throughout the piece, a loop synthesizer I created on VCV Rack, different recorded sound effects (including a singing wine glass), and my own voice. I wanted to mimic the rise and fall of waves from the ocean, as well as the beauty of underwater scenery.
As part of my project I was inspired by the video game ABZU, which is originally scored by Austin Wintory, a video game composer I’m greatly inspired by. The video game is an open world universe completely based on underwater exploration. For my original project, I decided to cut the original music from a short clip of the game and apply my own score to it.
