New Ambience: Hall of Angels (Patreon)

Greetings Patrons,

I have a notebook that I keep by my desk that had the word "statues" written on the open page. It was circled. I don't remember writing it, but - if I circle anything, that usually means something to future me.

From the idea of the statue, I started sketching out a room in a museum. Room tones, distant torches, a nice hollow wind. But then what? I thought about the excellent Dr. Who episode with the weeping angels (terrifying!). I didn't really want to do outright horror, but I liked the idea of statues that moved. Maybe the plinths simply rotated? That could make a cool vibe and also a possible puzzle room scenario. I went with that.

Musically, I wa thinking a cross between majestic (angels, after all) and creepy. So, interspersed with choirs and the lead alto melody I added some sound design-y noises and scrapes as well as some altered pitch elements.

As this is in patron-only sneak-peek mode (live on the site next week), I've included the mixed-version as well as ambience-only, and music-only versions. Additionally, I created 2 no-angels versions, which eliminate the rotating statue noises. And finally, I made a version that's more subdued by removing the melodic alto vocal line. I hope you find these useful.

Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.

Best,

Tim
