Astrolabe Map Device Redesign

I sought to do something a little more light hearted, thinking it wouldn’t be quite as much work to get some material for my sound design Reel. Boy, was I wrong. The intricacies of what I wanted took a while, getting the little sparkles just right, the rotation to feel right at the speed of the animation. Most of all, trying to make a portal sound like a portal but not scifi. That is what i’d say took me the longest and most trial and error. In the end though, I like how it turned out. obviously just like ever sound designer, I could keep working on it until the end of time and still not be happy with it.

But on my journey to learn and get better as fast as I can, I think it’ll do for now:

As I said before, the portal sound was the toughest part of it and I’m still not completely happy with it. I went through 4 different renditions. In the end, I differed to the first one. but instead of leaving it how it is, I took the 3rd version I did that was a little too scifi and used it to morph the 1st. Mixing them together made something that was way closer to what I was looking for.

A solo version here:

Thank you again for listening to my ramblings,
