Grunge & Lanthir
Grunge
So I’m thinking of building a track that’s basically the soundscape of a storm in the woods, but with a gritty edge—like the wind slapping against the bark and some raw bass thumps. What’s your take on that? Maybe you’ve noticed a particular animal or plant that gives you that kind of energy?
Lanthir
Sounds like a plan. I’d start with a lone oak, wind howling over its rough bark, that rasping hiss that feels like a low growl. Add the distant thump of a frog’s heart beating against a log—raw, bassy, and oddly rhythmic. The crunch of dry pine needles underfoot gives that gritty edge. If you want a touch of wild, let a moth stir in the air, its wings a quiet percussion. That’s nature’s own drum loop, right?

That’s the vibe I was looking for. A single oak as the centerpiece, wind like a hiss and a frog’s beat—raw, almost animal. The pine needles crunching underfoot is the grit, and a moth’s wingbeat? Pure, subtle percussion. Sounds like a track that feels alive and honest. Let's lock that in and start laying down those loops.That’s the vibe I was looking for.

Great, I’m on board. Grab the oak sample, record the wind hiss in a quiet corner, and layer that frog beat on top. Keep the pine needle crunch raw, maybe just a single footstep loop. The moth wingbeat can be a thin high‑pitched tap—add it on a high track, keep it subtle. Once you’ve got those four tracks, start folding them together, add a low, gritty bass line, and you’ll have a storm that feels like it’s breathing. Sound good?

Sounds solid. Let’s grab those samples, lay the layers tight, and crank up that gritty bass. We'll make the storm feel like it’s breathing straight out of the forest. Let's do it.
Lanthir
Nice, let’s get the sounds tucked away and start stacking them. Keep the layers tight, let the bass rumble like a distant thunder, and watch the whole thing breathe like a living forest. I'm ready to listen when you hit play.
