New Album Release; My House

Something a bit different from what I usually make, and to go with my interactive house I made using Construct 3. I call them mini foundscapes, a cross between found sounds and soundscapes, which I used free royalty-free samples from Pixabay.com, my go-to place to find royalty-free FXs for multiple uses. For the interactive piece I did called Our House, from the well-known song by Madness also called Our House, I selected pictures of well-designed rooms and took bits from the pictures and made it interactive. It’s not just audio but videos as well, and other stuff I put together to make up the interactive room. You can check that out by the button below, which will take you to my other website, randomgas.com.  There is some music on this album too, and something a bit light and less thumping without the drums and synthy stuff or should I say no hard drums. I enjoyed making the Foundscapes and putting the interactive piece together, and it took over a week to make, as I didn’t know what I was making and did one piece at a time. I had to draw around the object in the photo and save that object as a transparent background, plus making it so you know what to select by using highlighters to highlight the object. Most of the sounds were one shots, apart from the long clips, which I used as a base for the clip and the melody pieces, which I cut up and used FXs on to make it sound a little different to what it was, and all comes from Pixabay.com. Making the soundbites for the interactive piece was all experimenting with pitch and FXs, which I used a lot of FXs on the soundbites from Reverb, Delay, Filters and Compressors. As I said, it’s not all Foundscapes and there are some songs on there too, with songs like Panter Banter, Play Thing, Recreation and Safe Guard. Panter Banter is my favourite on the album, but I quite like Heigh Ho, My Pretty Flowerbed and The Lazy Fairy too. I mostly fitted the tracks with what was in the picture and worked around that as something to get me started, and are all the rooms you would find in a house, with some bonus rooms to wrap it up with.
