Sound Design and Synthesis

Creation of sound from scratch, or from live source when the original sound is noticeably altered to sound different or artificial, using electronics, software, or some sort of physical means. Many methods of modern sound synthesis include incorporating a wide range of sound effects such as filters, distortion, modulation, or granular effects to achieve the desired sound design.
