Demo Audio Test Reel:
Conceptualized, designed & composed a soundtrack & sound effect audio test. 
Soundtrack Reel--The following visual graphics initially captured my eyes.  With rich, sharp, mystical colors and beautiful subtlety, I desired to create a mood/ atmosphere to compliment these visual effects.  Therefore, I decided to start with a modern sound of strings.  Complimenting the "old gold" text, suggesting the time period, but yet a modern twist of events, a new tale, and a journey.  "Ear-piercing", "spine-tingling", is what came to mind, coherently telling the story, image & sound.  My intention on the soundtrack was to tell a story using sound (such elements like Peter & the Wolf), maintain continuity & fluidity w/ visuals, enhance the mystical atmosphere provided, and nevertheless, make a viewer want to know more.
Sound Effects Reel--The following visual graphics inspired me to compliment the textures, warm/hot temperature, & gritty atmosphere.  In regards to the title, clash is often described with metallic noise or collision of metals, therefore I wanted to keep that entity continuously lingering, as well as suggest the sound of the tank.  My intention on the sound effects was to create & enhance the space.  Add depth, ambiance to the chaos, creating different levels of effects for the viewer to feel apart of the event.  To feel the chaos, energy, & grittiness of war. Focusing on making gun shots/explosions closer to the camera louder and vice versa for distant effects.  And provide an overall atmosphere of mayhem.
