With cassettes and a synthesizer

Seeing sound teams work their magic is a thing of beauty.

I’ve had the good fortune of seeing sound-proof rooms at work at a few studios, and the things they use for inspirationare pretty unreal at times. That also applies to the composer forDoom, who used devices like a Russian synthesizer (note: he can’t speak Russian) and cassette tapes to “corrupt” the otherwise “pure” sounds. Yes, his literal job was to figure out what hell sounds like and then present it to the public — I think he did it pretty well!
