Hello Internet. I require your assistance.

I'm working on a video for my media class. The theme of the video is an acid trip, more specifically, a psychedelic video purposely assaulting to the senses. Most peoples projects just end up looking like the scene changes in That 70s Show, we've decided to take a different approach to the project.

Our video is going to be a terrifying, bad acid trip. In order to properly terrify the hapless viewers of our project, sound effects are key.


That's where I need your help. I humbly request your most terrifying sound effects, and music, perhaps video clips as well if you have any. For sound effects I'd really like to create the kind of soundscape found in somebody's videos, with ominous ambience and loud, abrasive static pops and whatnot. Something along the lines of this, would be perfect.

For music, anything ominous, dissonant, and perhaps glitchy sounding. Something without lyrics or a drumbeat would be preferable. Some quiet, eerie ambient music would be nice as well, to create some tension between the loud parts of the video.

Hopefully that gives you some idea of the effect I'm trying to create.

Thanks much.

Darn. I have no audio skills to speak of.

If you need any other help with the video, just holler.

To clarify:

I'm not asking that you create music and sound effects for me, just to point me in their direction. Youtube links are just fine, we have programs on the school computers to download and extract audio from them.

What about some really distorted dial-up sound effects?

Part of having no skills means I have no helpful knowledge. So ya, I'm useless.

I guess some random searches like "Sweep mp3" on google might work.

Unaltered, but would sound pretty ****ed up with some added clipping, arranging and effects. Especially the last part.

I also recommend Scarecrow's assistance for harsh/brash sound effects. He's all hocked up on caffeine

also, the sound at the end of this video

Yeah I'd hit Scarecrow up for this. He did the music for one of Apples' games and it sounded pretty ****ed up.
