EerieAmbienceCompositeLoop.wav

Synthetic ambiance reminiscent of planetary weirdness sounds from Star Trek, though it is not intended to emulate those. Seamless loop, 32-bit floating wav, relatively long (about 40 seconds) but only minor variations in sound sweep around. It is a relatively thick layering of multiple notch-pass filterings of noise using FFTs, with separate pitch bending and other effects in each layer. This isn't hard to do, but the complexity just means it takes a lot of time to get it done, so it's worth using the work someone else has done to save the time. Here's mine. :-) I can imagine this being used as a primary component (drone) of any other-worldly situation. Just add the sonic sprinkles of your choice. All components of this sample were created mathematically in Cool Edit Pro.

The layered atmosphere in this eerie ambience composite loop is really well balanced and would work great for subtle background tension. I could see it being useful even in interactive spaces like math playground style projects where mood matters. Clean and practical sound design.
