Aye, I haven't added the moan yet, this is just some of the surrounding ambience for now. I will indeed be using a whale moan, darkened, stretched and dampened to give the impression of being inside the sound.
I understand what you mean. You're describing a non-harmonic pad. Common practice is to fade in the harmonic bassline (contrabasses or similar deep instrument) and fade out the pad so that the transition is smooth and flowing. Often the tonal quality of the instrument is also dampened and then restored for the climax. For example, say that the tone is around 440Hz and we add an ad hoc EQ to notch those frequencies for the larger part of the phrase and then ease off to accentuate a dramatic chord change. I probably won't use the piano or any instrument with sharp attacks. More in the lines of airy woodwind.
I like the crackles. They're bug sounds. I figured there'd be bugs in the stomach. Either way, I could make them more subtle, leaving room for the listener to imagine what the sounds are coming from.
Hmm, the "storage containers" that can be looted in this worm are those stumps and stuff from SI, right? I seem to recall them making noises when you touch them. Would it be a terrible pain to extract those?
