Dog And Thunder

Tau Alpha Beta

The objective here is to get a sense of the human response to sound, In a group on metapop I asked: 1.) First by creating sounds of opposite polar nature, a volunteer (literally anybody on metapop) could describe what type of sounds are repulsive and I'll try and replicate repulsive sound. 2.) Vice versa, someone describes sounds they think are pleasant or preferrable and I'll try and replicate the sound described. 3.) After I'm done making sounds I'll take a turn describing sounds I both like and dislike for someone else to replicate if they wish and everyone else in succession take their turn if they so choose. Someone suggested that the sound of dogs barking is unpleasant and the sound of rain and thunder in the background is pleasant, this is perfect because dogs don't like thunder and that's why they bark at it; I wanted to incorporate something personal, that loud thunder when crashing over your head is both humbling and empowering at once, I incorporated that as well. As inspired by by the member of that group I managed to incorporate a creative mix combining a soundtrack that transitions into EDM, I was tempted to use a sound sample of a dog barking but I prefer to challenge myself so I used MassiveX sound fx to imitate the sound of a dog barking, the sound of thunder and rain, the former being more difficult, I didn't think I'd be able to do it at first, there are portions in the soundtrack where the thunder is in the background and other parts I brought it out to the foreground in the soundtrack sequences and I brought it out in the EDM sequences, objectively, when the scene has only thunder the music is not so edgy and the scene where only the dogs are barking the music is light, then I added sequences where there's thunder and the dogs are barking simultaneously, primarily in the soundtrack scenes.
