Deep Ambient Sound

Our film surrounds the theme of torture, this piece will be very abstract, meaning that the sound design will play a big part in holding the story together. I want the sound design to be very ambient, with undertones of dark bass sounds.
I have been taking a lot of inspiration from the likes of James Blake and Jamie Woon, I find that in terms of a musical direction, I find a lot of different sounds in their music that I could take over into my sound design, I like the idea that a piano could create a low bassy sound. I like that these two artists create dark ambience, which is something that I want to achieve in my design.
In terms of our visuals, there is going to be a lot of greens and reds; two very strong colours which needs to be reflected in the sound design. I want to do this by bringing in and taking out the bass, this should move along nicely with the edit.     

The XX are a fantastic example of creating deep ambient sounds. Angels by The XX is a song that I feel I can take a lot of inspiration from, although it is very ambient and chilled out, It also has a very dark sound to it, I think this is something that will reflect the theme of our film. Although the main protagonist will enjoy being tortured, the theme will still be dark, this will show two contrasting elements of the story.
