Pitch-bending a composite of string samples to emulate the sound of some high-speed machine powering down. I was playing around with the speed/pitch shift on my friend's Protools setup and he showed me how to gradually bend the speed of a sample. So I layered a bunch of strings and went to town.

Hi

I love this sound and have used it in a short dance film called Faraday's Cage (not yet completed). The link to the film's website is here - http://www.faradayscage.com - and the link to the attribution page is here - http://www.faradayscage.com/attribution.html

Thank you!
