Hi y’all, It’s been a minute! Hope everyone’s doing well. This one is for horror movie fans. It’s a simple take on the music during The Conjuring opening title. Just in time as we await the 3rd movie in the series coming out soon.
A lot of horror movies use music that seems to rely on pitch shifting synths/instruments and building it up with dissonant notes. So, that’s the idea here. The recipe is fairly simple and I was very happy to emulate the sounds with pitch_dis argument of the :pitch_shift fx on the stacked saws.

code:
##| THE CONJURING sound...
live_loop :conjuring do
amp = 1
with_fx :reverb, room: 0.8, mix: 0.8 do
with_fx :lpf, cutoff: 0 do
with_fx :pitch_shift, pitch_dis: 0.002 do
with_synth :saw do
play :e1, amp: amp, attack: 0, sustain: 0.5, release: 1
play :e1, amp: amp, attack: 0.25, sustain: 0.5, release: 1
play :ds1, amp: amp, attack: 0.25, sustain: 0.5, release: 1
play :e2, amp: amp, attack: 0.25, sustain: 0.5, release: 1
play :e3, amp: amp, attack: 0.25, sustain: 0.5, release: 1
##| I save this until I get to LPF cutoff of 100 for buildup
##| play :ds5, amp: amp, attack: 0.25, sustain: 0.5, release: 1
end
end
end
sleep 0.5
end
end
Please let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas for emulating horror music.
Cheers!
