I make horror music. currently in a Signalis: Memories side B infinite loop.
Implemented a meta sounds footstep system for two different physical materials on this factory. One for epoxy concrete and one for rubber.
The red line traces vertically to hit the floor and trigger the notify for the sounds to play.

Spent the afternoon recreating the safe room music from Signalis.
But I couldn't make that buzzy pulsing synth underneath the wobbly piano!!
Also, be careful with the low end!

If we are to surive this intentional tragedy we must leave the save room and confront evil.

Found this comment on the long hour version of the save room in Resident Evil.
Who else has spent hours in the save room just to listen to the music?

The save room music comforts us at first, but it soaks us in melancholy.

How do delays and reverbs create a fearful yet calm atmosphere?

How does the save room music offer safety but announce danger at the same time?

Studying horror sound design in the music for SOMA today — it’s wild how much tension you can build just with automation, spread triads, and delay throws.
Anyone else ever tried recreating horror music from scratch?

Something happens when you forget about music being correct.
You start hearing music in your head. It doesn't have to be technically correct.
It must make you feel something.

One of the most important aspects of a horror game is the unsettling music. If the instrumentation doesn’t create fear, the tension collapses. And if the sound design doesn’t sell the atmosphere, the immersion breaks.

Spent 30 minutes trying to come up with a clever melody for a psychological horror track. Until I remembered: simplicity is your friend. So I stripped down the complex melody changes and made it deeply emotional instead.
