Trailer from indie Horror movie filmed in NI I'm scoring and creating sound fx for.
You can watch this video on www.livejournal.com
I suggest fullscreen and loud!
The entire track was created using recordings from a Cello which were then manipulated into drums sounds, textures and rhythms in Ableton Live.
As the film is entirely set in a forest I wanted to use a real instrument as a base for the all sounds rather than using synths and pre-recorded percussion samples.
I used a kick drum pedal on the cello body to for the beginnings of the kick drum sound (a little trick I learned from Diego Stocco) A lot of the other noise was created using the bow and piano hammers(Diego again ;)) to tap on the cello body and strings to create the rhythms.
From there I used Ableton to pitch shift, eq, compress, distort and time-stretch elements to create the final score.
