Snyder’s palette is vast and unpredictable. He employs detuned synthesizers that drift in and out of pitch, mimicking the strange, floating spores and hypnotic lights of the planet. The low end often rumbles with a subsonic frequency that suggests the planetary "heartbeat," while high-frequency glitches and stings mimic the clicking of insectoid predators.
