Thank you. In the first track I used a small plugin I wrote to merge two sounds together. It's basically a reverb tank that takes input from two audio signals and only keeps those frequencies the two sounds have in common. It then re-synthesizes new audio with random phases (making it really wide). I really enjoy carving sounds with that thing.
Hopefully, one day I'll hone my sound design skills as well as you have. For now, I think I already learned a lot just from listening all the fantastic entries in this compo. It's been a lot of fun.
