Ahzoh's Music and Audio projects

[MetalRenard]

These both work a lot better from a sound-design perspective though.

"Atmospheric" in terms of music means the sound isn't "in your face", it's in the background, floaty, lofty or softer. Imagine the difference between plucking a string with a piece of metal and then rubbing your thumb gentle over the same string. The metal would have a sharp "attack", an initial more percussive sound and would accentuate the higher frequencies. The thumb on the other hand would have a softer "attack" and the frequencies would be "rounder" or have less high end and more low-middle frequencies.

Here's a chart to explain frequencies to you:
