Sound Design

Sound Design is original non-musical sound, orchestrated to effect. Some sounds come from nature, such as thunder and lightning, or a bird's call. Other sound design is subtler and often unrecognizable. Since changes in our aural environment are perceived mostly on a subconscious level, sound design can consciously steer the subconscious of the audience.
