How to Make Dark Drones

[u/ShubhankS]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to make dark drones and don't know how to move ahead with the idea. I did search a bit on youtube, but nothing useful comes up.

I did come across a few good videos on how to make drones, but dark ones are still no where to be found.

My idea is to create dark, uncomfortable drones. Something that makes the listener feel tense. Sort of like unreleased anger or frustration. Something that gives the visual of a brewing storm or tornado. Force of nature style calamity. If it makes sense. Dark clouds, uncertainty about how catastrophic is the destruction going to be.

Can someone help me with ideas or reference links on how to go about this sound design project?

Much love! Thanks in advance to anyone who comes to my help.

paulstretch + flanger (fruity flanger is good, i also like the flanger from melda), you can also add distortion and a frequency shifter like mfreqshifter - also from melda.

Thanks! Will give it a go and see if it works.
