For this task i used the Roland SH 5. I chose this because it has the most freedom, the mixer being one of the best functions on this analog synth. Although, in my opinion, most of the sounds created little resembled anything that might be found in real life, there is certainly many timbrel options to synthesise sounds natural and unnatural. I could see 60s and 70s sci-fi and horror movies flashing by while playing the instrument.
Ive posted a 1 minute mp3 of the best samples among the original 9 minutes recorded. In this mp3 you can hear wind (noise generator) planes, ambulances, alien spaceships (this one is defiantly more creative, but i think that it is reminiscent of classic sci fi movies).
Very fun task, and look forward to playing around with the analogue synths in the future.
Here is the mp3 of the samples
