SOUND ART: “Pulse Drift 99”

Written By Michael Workman

Pulse Drift 99

Description
Drawing from the atmospheric sound design of Silent Hill, the decaying beauty of Fallout 1, and the eerie, yet strangely whimsical OST + gameplay of Ecco the Dolphin, Pulse Drift 99 offers a sonic landscape that encourages listeners to examine ways in which they might interact with and/or harness the immense energy found within one of nature’s most strikingly beautiful weather phenomena - thunderstorms.
