Sound Design

As I thought about the sound design for our interactive media, I thought it needed to be more of an ambiance than anything else.  The main idea behind our presentation is light and how it reflects and refracts so I want to play off this idea of reflecting with the sound design too.  The same way that light reflects, you can have sound reflect, or echo.  The first thing that comes to mind for ambiance noises are sounds or rumbles that will echo in the form of a sine wave.  The constant up and downs of the sound will give a sense of reflection in the small area as light is also reflected throughout the space.
  We have referred to the center of our piece as a sort of black hole.  I want to create a sort of space atmosphere with low rumbles and sounds that reverberate and fade out.  The deep bass rumble would be like that of a space ship hurtling through space or like something you would hear if someone was in a space suit.  The faint sound of air rushing through a small space could also give the sense that you are moving inside the space.  I want the sound to not only be a part of the presentation but to enhance it.  I think making the sounds feel as if you are not in a familiar place will help to bring a sense of uneasiness or wonder to the project.
