I had some free time on my hands and decided to do a resound of a short sequence from Cocoon, a game I really enjoyed for its beautiful fusion of sci-fi, glitchy aesthetics and an incredibly organic, alive sonic world.

‍

For this resound, I created most of the sounds myself using Phase Plant and Vital, layering and shaping them with a fun bunch of little effect chains (maybe 𝒕𝒐𝒐 fun, if you ask me). There are a few sound assets as well, but the focus was really on hand-crafting a world that feels alien, 𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘺-𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘺-𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘺, and coherent with the game's original vision.

It's been a while since I've been wanting to try my hands on a sci-fi sound palette that feels more 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭, pushing and driving synthetic elements into sonic forms that feel strangely soothing and natural (to me at least, but what can I do, I'm a sucker for glitchy ASMR). It was a fun lil' creative challenge, and I learned some really cool things - and crafted a bunch of very fun Phase Plant and Vital presets along the way!
