Quickdesign Exercise - Esoteric Cube Device

Hey Wigglers, just finished a quick sound design exercise that I decided to explore synthesis more deeply in the layering process. Went straight to ArtStation for something visually unique and came across this awesome VFX piece "Esoteric Device" made in UE5 Niagara by /.

Two plugins from Native Instruments Reaktor played a big role in shaping the sound here, FORM, a sample-tracking synth with very cool granular tools and Prism, nice polyphonic synth with some metallic, glassy and organic textures (Soundscapes presets are gold). When the device opens up, it almost forms Tetris-like pieces, so I added a musical layer / arpeggiator to mirror that visual moment in the middle section.

Fun little experiment. Full credit to Lefi S. for the stunning visuals & animation, thanks for sharing your work... Check out his profile here ➡️ https://www.artstation.com/leficious
