About this submission
A dark decent into a corrupted den of static and fear. Inspired by the glitcby yet somewhat "VHS" aesthetic of the provided clip's effects, this piece blends eerie acoustic textures and dreadfully digital timbres through heavy use of re-pitched bowed harp processed by a modular synthesizer; creating a unique atmosphere which peaks on a monstrous roar of analog synths and avant-garde processed harp extended techniques. Additionally, the handcrafted "fake" radio sounds serve to blur the line of where the sound design ends and the score begins.
