01 / Alien Space · Version 2.0

An experiment in otherworldly atmosphere.

Alien Space 5.1 was a sound design training project, presented on my website in August 2003. The idea was to build an alien space ambience in a multichannel format, giving the sound a space around the listener.

The original page introduced the piece as an audio SFX exercise. It belongs to the experimental side of my work with sound and moving images.
