Wow! This sounds like it would have been fun to put together. I really like that steady background screaching sound that is going on. Is that a synth or some sound effect or ? I understand if you dont want to give away any secrets. Very cool.

Some of the sounds are from the Ambient Metals in the Cinematic sound menus in Stylus. Other of the screechy sounds are from Evolve by Heavyocity. The low buzzy synth sounds are from a Dave Smith Evolver hardware synth.No secrets. IMO the art of composition these days is the art of picking the appropriate sounds out of the huge number available to us all. We are partly collage artists as much as composers.Cheers,Mazz
