Sci-fi ambience & sfx redesign: Blame!

Consider this my last minute Halloween post! I’m a fan of the Blame! manga, a far-future story where all the matter in the solar system has been converted to a purposeless, giant structure by out-of-control robots. I took a scene from the anime which was primarily dialogue and music-driven, and tried to tell some more of the environment’s story with sound.

Feedback of any kind very welcome!

Had a lot of fun playing with dynamic ideas about spatialization and reverberation, and manipulating bird calls to make some vocalizations for the Builder (giant robot), which I imagined might use something like echolocation, among other senses.

I also liked the idea from the comic that this little group of humans is using now-old technology which they don’t really understand, and played with the idea that their suits would sound a bit creaky and plastic-y rather than sci-fi and mechanical. Hope y’all enjoy the choices here. 😎
