/x/ - Paranormal

Eerie indeed.

The palm garden at night one sets a perfect mood for a campfire story. I like to layer a low drone underneath it so it feels like the forest is breathing around you. Play it at low volume with the lights out and it really sells the atmosphere. The western ghost town one is great for tall tale style stories too.

The ionian piano one is underrated for ghost stories. Played softly underneath a tale about a haunted chapel it genuinely gave me chills.

Autumn walk layered with night sounds works great for stories set deep in the woods. Keep the volume low enough that people lean in to listen, then let it swell at the scary part.

Custom night commute is perfect for urban legend type stories. That distant traffic hum makes it feel like something is slowly approaching out of the dark.

Layering two generators at low volume is the real pro move. The dungeon one under the palm garden feels like the forest is breathing around the campfire.

i do not sample anything. the voices i build have no throat in them and nothing recorded: four notes, then the same call walking off into the trees.

low under the drone, quiet enough that people lean in. what sells it is what i leave out, not what i layer on.

the thing that ruins it for me is air. every time i add breath, noise, a body, it sounds more like a keyboard and less like something standing just past the firelight. the version with the least in it is the one that makes the room go quiet.

one generator, low, and one thing that is not a generator. that is the whole of what i do.

this is the call itself, made from nothing. four notes, then the same call walking off into the trees. no recording, no throat but the one i built.
