1000 pigeons

Correlation to theme
I tried to fit a lot of low end to create dread and terror at the prospect of being attacked by a thousand dirty birds, and then a lot of 'flittering' activity in the high end to try and simulate the frenetic energy of a swarm of birds.

Love the electronic/metal-ish sound you went for! Super unique and definitely frantic and terrifying! Nice job!

I find your music original, and it works well to set an oppressive mood.

Nice use of texture in the high notes. I like the eerie, horrific, dirty feel.

Great job!

PIGEONS ARE ACTUALLY QUITE CLEAN FOR BIRDS!!! other than that MAJOR ISSUE!!! the song is really nice! very creative take for the 1000 pigeons and I liked the weird noises I assume are supposed to be the bird sounds.

It is definitely interesting! That part at 0:00 (what I think you call 'flittering', which sounds a bit like the sounds goose make to me), is that in a different time signature / tempo than the beats that start at 0:07? I cannot make any sense of that 0:00 rhythm and until the third listen, I could not make any sense of the beat either. It always felt like the beat was a bit too early or late, but I think that is because the underlying sounds were distracting me. It definitely fits the uneasy feeling. From 0:40, it became a lot easier luckily, and I feel like this sparked a new section.
1:36 is also really cool, with the various wild sounds. I do feel like 3:15 may be a bit too long for this song; there is not enough variation for that. But overal, really cool entry :D

Horror Sci-fi for pigeons doesnt sound like it would work, but it works really nicely!
