When The Music Follows An Interactive Audio Driven Psychological Horror Demonstration

A few days ago, I made my experiment prototype public. In this experiment, I created several audio features that play an important role in transforming the music in real-time, and I am curious about the effect it has on people.

Your help is much appreciated!

Just finished playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Definitely a contender on one of the best games I’ve ever played.

Everything in this game was so captivating... was hooked until the bitter end! Also Esquie must be fun to cosplay, def. one of my fav. too 😂

Great job to everyone who worked on it!

YouTube video by Wouter Meijer First time playing around with SpinTracer for textured whooshes

First time using Tonstum Spintracer in combination with Zynaptic PitchShift Pro and some other plugins I got during Black Friday to make some whooshes for #sfxswap.

Something tells me I'm going to have a lot of fun experimenting with different settings and sources in future! 😁

More doing and less thinking!

Hey hello! So the year is ending soon, it would be fun to share my personal top [insert X amount] in #videogames as I've seen people do it in the past as well. Are there specific websites you would recommend to track and or share your personal top10-25-100 in games?

YouTube video by Wouter Meijer Recap #noisevember - Summary of all 30 videos

Made a recap video of all my 30 #airwiggles #noisevember24 videos, it's only around 6 minutes! 😜

I tried to spend +/- 30 min per challenge, made some nice templates by mainly using my freshly bought plugins from #blackfriday and #phaseplant... but also some turds 💩 that I would rather not show!

Excited to share that I’m working on a experiment to explore innovative ways of achieving immersive stress in interactive music, supported by Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie!

I will experiment in #UnrealEngine to make a short psychological horror demo.

Stay tuned!🎵🕹️

Hey 😃!

Dit was voor de fun voor een challenge met de letter Q, maar kan zijn dat ik het ga recyclen voor abstracte situaties, vind het einde wel wat hebben voor een potentiele atmosfeer!

Q

#noisevember24

I use the Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO for both making audio, mixing and playing games, have to say I love them for many years now and don't feel the need for change. Sony MDR 7506 for recording (outside).

But had my eyes on Audio OLLO S5X to upgrade to use for game audio/mix, people ever heard of it?

Cool!

Cool, that's a very VERY dark mode btw in Wwise, or did your recording reduce the brightness?

YouTube video by Wouter Meijer Made some forest fauna ambiance using synthesis only.

-8,9 dBTP was my original video that I've also added to Youtube www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMwA...

-3,4 dBTP seems to be measured when I analyse it from video conversion from Bluesky when uploading video instead of youtube.

Perhaps they normalise to around -3,5 dBTP if it's too soft?

Does someone know more about loudness normalisation settings on videos uploaded on #Bluesky? It seems that my soft ambience video that was around -27 LUFS integrated was normalised to around -21 LUFS integrated.

Thanks! Will try next time. I wanted to challenge myself to do as much as possible using synthesis, limited time and fauna only, to explore possibilities within this frame. I feel like what you point out also feels missing especially for the more forest base atmosphere without too much going on!

Day 23 - (Surrealistic) Wildlife #noisevember24

Used wavetable synthesis with sinus for the birds, granular synthesis with some metal sources for the loop stuff and basic sample retrigger with modulation for the frogs. Frogs still need some work, but was fun!

Epic! So how does it work with converted DAW to usable audio? Does it export every midi note you used within octave range as separate audio note to be used inside the system or something like that? Since it needs to be compatible with the different modals as well?

Much thanks! 😜

Thanks! 😀

YouTube video by Wouter Meijer Created some glow sounds #noisevember24

Day 7:

YouTube video by Wouter Meijer Tweaks on the glow sounds of day 7

Using #noisevember24 mainly to create templates and experiment. Was trying out some new plugins to create shimmer/glow sounds. I've recorded 4 different chimes and then used the sources with granular synthesis in #PhasePlant with the new FX. Used day 7 as a template.

#gameaudio #sounddesign

Enjoy 😃!

YouTube video by Wouter Meijer Made some anime-ish bubbly sounds in Phase Plant

For #noisevember24 I've made some anime bubbly sounds and recycled some old noise ambience preset for underwater both in PhasePlant and Crystalizer.

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻

I've made 2 PhasePlant patches that function as eerie atmosphere/stinger generator using only the granular synthesis modules with my own custom recorded sound sources.
