Trying to imitate a certain sound for a short film, but don't know where to start

I am early in the development of a script, but I already have a mindset for how I would like the soundtrack to sound (it's actually what inspired the tone of the short). However, I have limited experience in music production and I don't know the words for what I am looking for. Here are some examples to start:

Various tracks by Atmosphere (his producer, Ant, is very good at this sound):

Also, the Hotline Miami Soundtrack

I love the intense despair found in the low synth sounds and I think they would perfectly reflect the status of my main character.

Basically, I need any possible information about two things:


  • What this type of sound is called - I want to be able to find more examples to draw inspiration from
  • How some of the sounds are accomplished - I know this is a bit vague, but any information regarding names for specific sounds common of the genre and how they might be replicated would be appreciated
Again, thank you for any input you can offer!
