Our <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/synchedin-spotlight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotlight <\/a>track begins this week, with a sinister sounding bowed metallic sound. Already, it is clear that MacLeod is ready to dish out some seriously scary sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to our own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N5WDT7rBFSY&amp;list=PLUP1ExfeloOEqLP6RCACQRcN0dlXHQrH5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spooky Sound Effects Showreels<\/a>, MacLeod begins to introduce and fade out different sonic elements, each more unsettling than the last. A white noise synth with an LFO (low frequency oscillator), causing a stutter type effect, particularly stands out in the sound design of this piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/3p7Z1Xv9XRmK7tqnyC6ecp?si=8a4ffb07c8914717\">Bent and Broken<\/a><\/em> by <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4fSMtiyC6lF5BUO1tUMWMs?si=OU8kMRDkSzaE8tu55xZZoQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kevin MacLeod<\/a> continues to grow more <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/sinister-sounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sinister <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/licensing.routenote.com\/collection\/darkness-sounds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dark <\/a>as each new piercing, unnerving element is added.
