This is a battle scene sound redesign for Episode 9 of Arcane Season 2.
I made extensive use of granular synthesis in Phase Plant, especially to craft Ekko’s hoverboard sounds with dynamic movement and a strong sense of spatial depth.
While the original scene leans into a stylish and light-hearted musical approach, my reinterpretation centers on catharsis—emphasizing the eruption of rage and emotional intensity through sound.
To heighten this dramatic effect, I employed two key techniques: first, introducing intentional silence just before key explosions, and second, shifting the auditory perspective between first-person and third-person at crucial moments. These choices were made to deepen the emotional weight and immersive quality of the scene.
