It was the first time we had a chance to see the visual part of our project and play it along the sounds we prepared. Together with one of the VR students we worked on one of the scenes that features 4 different sound visualisers.

Each of them makes a different sound which also makes the visualisers react to it and move on its own. The whole scene is a walk towards the moon that we can see at the end of the road.

Sounds between each visualiser are very subtle and ambient.

I was asked to design the sound of the moon, which I thought could not ne too harsh and more of an ambience, but also differ from the ambience and have more elements to it that represent the serenity, mysteriousness and foreignness of it. This was the final result (not sure if it’s going to be used in the final project):

I feel like meeting in person in one room and seeing each other work was the most fruitful moment in the whole collaboration. We could give and receive feedback as we went, and also create work that was directly influenced by what we just experienced. It was work based on a mutual consensus that happened in real time which I think is priceless very precious in present times.

I feel like whatever was made that day has a big emotional value for the whole group and it will possibly reflect in quality of the work. Here is a raw recording of the synth session from that day:
