Would love DRONE Feedback!

Post by mwb2 » Tue Apr 07, 2020 6:54 am

Hi all, would love feedback for this EERIE, AMBIENT DRONE cue. First time in this genre and it's trickier than I thought to strike a balance between holding interest and adding too much!

https://soundcloud.com/mwb2/eerie-ambie ... d0UDAx7tCE

TAXI # S200412ER is the listing, which specifies:

"Please submit ambient Drone Instrumental Cues that deliver an eerie and ominous feel with very little to no melodic movement. For the purpose of this request, you’d be wise to stick to a singular motif and mood throughout your pieces, so your submissions are cohesive from top to bottom. Your Cues can have faint, cinematic sound design elements as well as sparse percussion, but don’t go overboard. Remember, less is more! Keep it simple and ambient. This is more about the mood being really evident than winning "Composer of the Year."

Note: Although your Drones should have little to no melodic movement, the client would like to hear Instrumental Cues that create a sense of development over time to maintain interest from start to finish."

Cheers,
Mike

Those vox hits and pitch shifts threw me a bit off.
One of the drones sounds more metallic, which I like, but it kept catching my attention a bit.
Atmosphere is there though!

Thanks Marco!

For the pitch shifts, do you mean the shifts in the drone throughout? Or something with the vocal hits?

Thanks,
Mike

In the metallic drone, sorry I forgot to specify it!
