Horror Soundscapes

FORMAT: Wav - 24 bit, 44.1khz

This is a cinematic horror soundscape. I originally made it for a scary scene in a video game, this composition ended in my audio-skip after the designer asked for something different.

The composition comprises of long drones similar to tibetan gong instruments, reverberant resonances and chime-like noises with abstract breath noises. The piece creates an intense emotive build, typical in horror or very scary films.

This soundscape is perfect for movie scenes or visual media where tension and a horrific sound is required to captivate the veiwer leaving them with a feeling of unease.

If you like or dislike this sound, please comment on your thoughts :)

Hi. I'm using this for a school project. I don't really plan on posting it elsewhere, but I will make sure to give you proper credit in the video credits. Great sound!

I'm going to be using this on my stream as some sort of fade in sound. The plan is a haunted playground theme for my channel https://www.twitch.tv/aradiaplays
