Description
This track was composed inspired by the theme "The Mountain King" and a painting by Sydney Laurence called "Twilight on Mt McKinley". Sonically it was inspired by the music of Animal Collective, Ryuichi Sakamoto, John Carroll Kirby, Joe Hisaishi, Okami and Cult of the Lamb.

I wanted to compose an ambient track with heavy percussions, thinking that this could be a background soundtrack, maybe for a boss or a mystic character.

Very cool arrangement and chord choices.  Sounds "icey" to me, fits the theme perfectly.  Kind of a dark mix but I think that works here.  I agree with FoxHyode that it's too quiet.

Cool piece, I think you're the opposite of DeltaFox you need to tone UP in volume your tracks, get a good balance in volume on everything even in the soft parts I think it will bang so much harder.

Nice stuff. I like the vibe it creates, like it would be a really good "level before the final boss fight" in a 2D platformer type of game with artwork that is similar to the theme art.
