Despite the fact these sound effects were not used in the final result; the creation still helped my overall process. Within met sound effects I took aesthetic inspiration from the game composer Koji Kendo. His legendary composition and sound design have made an enduring impression on the video game audio industry. Numerous Nintendo games have benefited from his recognizable tunes and captivating soundscapes. Kondo’s work continues to define the aesthetics of gaming sound, inspiring generations of players and musicians alike with a special blend of simplicity, catchiness, and emotional depth.
When creating my sound effects I wanted to keep the plausibility and realism behind the sonics. However, despite this, I wanted to keep the fun elements that Kindo manages to incorporate within his work. When creating this specific sound effect it was originally for a spell of growing love hearts on the screen. I felt that these sounds kept an auditory playfulness while also matching what was happening on screen.
