Matrix slow motion

This is a conceptual sound design project based on a brief from a AAA game developer, focused on exploring the effect of slow motion. The sound is synced to an iconic scene from The Matrix (1999), directed by the Wachowski brothers. I reimagined the entire audio for the sequence, including both music and effects, treating it as a self-contained moment outside the context of the original film.

What’s worth highlighting here is that every sound you hear in the sequence (except for the first gunshot and the background music) was synthesized entirely using just one synth: Serum v1. No pre-recorded samples, no layered sound libraries—everything was generated and shaped from scratch.

The goal was to show the creative range of a single synthesizer, even a software one, when paired with careful editing and sound placement. Everything was bounced in place and processed. Even the first gunshot is mostly synthesized, but to keep a sense of realism and avoid a sci-fi vibe, I layered it with Krotos Weaponiser and retained the original identity of the Desert Eagle Mark XIX gun used by Agent Smith in the film.
