Sound that evokes a feeling of unease and possible fear, like there is someone (or something) unknown in the darkness.
This was designed as an installation, where a camera picks up movement which triggers the sounds.
There are three layers of sound:
- The base layer is a low humming that plays continuously. It is a deep ominous sound.
- The second layer is echoing footsteps, to suggest being in a large room and having someone else there. This sound only plays when there is no movement to give the feeling that the participant is only safe when they’re moving.
- The third is a whine that sounds distant. This sound plays repeatedly with a small interval between each whine and is turned on and off by movement.
