(SOUND) Film 116: The Broken Scanner

Title: The Broken Scanner

Runtime: 2:10

What I had in mind for this piece was to create the sound of some sort of scanning system breaking down in the middle of an underground facility. The piece starts off with us hearing the scanner working properly when all of a sudden, the scanner malfunctions, and then a team of technicians come along to fix it.
