This is a dark twist on the picture theme that i think you convey very well in your composition. The sauntering bass with the swelling synth chords sounds like being in the ocean under the water, but near the surface. As the main character slowly starts losing oxygen, I like that the music reflects this with the occasional dissonant note. When the bass cuts out and all that’s left is the staccato piano with the delay on it, I imagine being underwater slowly drifting down into the dark depths as the piano slowly moves down. The final instrument is unsettling with the inconsistent pattern and the modulation distortion. This definitely paints a vivid picture. Good job and thank you for sharing!
I loved the synths you used. They were weird, sparkly, warped and detuned. You built a really fun sound world and it sounded great! Nice job!
This is so creepy in a cutesy way. I love it. It really feels like the music you'd hear while you're dying or losing your mind, trying to hold on to good memories as they slowly fade away... Incredible creepypasta vibes, 10/10.
This is the most morbid interpretation I've seen of the theme yet, but you nailed it.
Love these harmonies, and then all the dissonant stuff over is one creative sound. Cbat lolol. Nice work!
Very creepy! I think you nailed the message you were trying to convey of fighting a losing battle and the dissonance in this track invokes a bit of anxiety/panic which I think is the goal. Thank you for sharing!
This conveys a great feeling of a sort of delusional panic like the one you described, super interesting piece! Feels like it could slot right into something like Omori. also lol cbat melody amazing
Very very dissonant and unsettling. Reading your description, I guess this song conveys what dying feels like, so the unsettling feel is fitting!
I don’t really enjoy this much dissonance in my music or games, but I still feel like it was done in a way that I can understand the talent it requires to write music like this. So well done!
No way c-bat
otherworldly. great effect with the dissonant voicings and choppy rhythm!
