New SoundPad Preview: Weirder Things

Greetings Patrons,

Many of you are already familiar with my love of the TV show Stranger Things, and especially the music. Any excuse to do a synth only, knob tweaking analog music track I will take it.  I've done 2 10 minute tracks on the front page of the site, each one coinciding with a season of the show. For season 3 I assumed I was going to repeat the process and then I thought...wait a minute! There's a SoundPad in here!

As a child of the 80s there's so much nostalgia to sift through on the show. I re-watched season 1 as that was the season that established the time period.  I coupled that with my own sound memories and then took it from there.

This is more of a Stranger Things SoundPad than a generic 80s one as there are elements specific to the show. Creatures, alternate universes, isolation tanks etc. I'm hoping that there's enough utility here to add to many different types of games, even modern ones. The sounds of suburbia honestly haven't changed that much have they?

There are 40 sounds in this SoundPad including 6 tones, the largest number yet. Each of these can be used individually to create a specific atmosphere or can be layered in any combination to create new beds and moods. I love just setting the 'Boom Tone' track over a simple background for instant suspense.

There are also 4 musical tracks that I composed in the style of the show, not necessarily the 80s. I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. I'm including all the tracks here in a higher bitrate for patrons as SoundPads necessitate an even lower bitrate than the ambiences.

Finally, I'm releasing this as Patron-only for now as I'm still making slight tweaks. It's not linked from any of the pages yet, direct link below. Please feel free to share this with your friends and gaming groups but not the internet at large. I'll release it to the wild in the next couple of days.

Thank you all for your continuing support.

Best,

Tim
