5-Second Sound Design Day 3

Today I found an odd clip on Pexels again, entitled Google Deepmind. I didn't do any research as to what that was, but I liked the look of it. I'll walk you through my thought process for how I designed this one.

To start, there are many groupings of cubes, I decided to number Each one, A, B, C, etc... and assign each group a note. When it appeared, that note played, and when it disappeared, a sound, sort of like a bubble popping played. The first overall cube had four groupings, and the second rectangular prism-esque one, I gave eight groupings, even though it technically had more appearing and disappearing.

Then, at last, in each clip, there are larger bars of metal that are moving, and I gave it a sort of synth sound, with a portamento (slide) for each one to indicate movement.

I don't know how well this comes across, it seems sort of like a jumble of sounds that don't cohere, but if you were to watch it slowly, you'd see that each sound corresponds to some change in the image. I learned in college that if you want to get better at creating something, like music,

art, or in my case, sound design, you need to create something every day. Some days, what you create is crap. Some days, what you make is incredible. You don't fail, you just learn. I think today was a learning day.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy this cacophony of strange sounds, and I hope you can piece it all together in your mind!
