Title
Inefable

Description
I was inspired by the theme and the word "ineffable": too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words. For the harmony, i just select randomly 7 notes, if you are curious, these are: D, Eb, F, F#, G#, A#, B

Very weird/interesting harmony indeed

It is a bit hard, but in a good way. I think you made the challenge a bit more challenging with this approach and still made through it. Nicely done!

Based submission. Took the challenge seriously and kept a consistent vibe throughout the whole track.

As Selkione already said, really cool technique with the melody parts. Really helps giving this a nice "mysterious" atmosphere. Really cool!

I think ineffable is a good theme for this track. At first, it feels disorienting, but after one minute or so I started getting into the track, and I had this feeling of two sounds trying to speak with each other but the weaker one (in terms of volume) can't keep up or reach the stronger one. They do something similar but never exactly the same. Maybe it's all in my head, but I like it :D

Very original! Harmonically I'm often lost, lots of dissonance but it's never annoying. And I think you've done a very clever trick: the harpsichord playing the same melody as the piano but 2 beats later. The dissonances introduced by the harpsichord seem logical and harmonically correct because the melody is known, even if it comes 2 beats later. Well done!

It works, and it's a pleasure to listen to.

This is a wonderful! It feels like you're entering a place where you are wary about every shadow, around every turn - I feel like I should be reading text in a JRPG and then it builds until you meet the antagonist and you hear their monologue about how the world is full of suffering and they just want to relieve the world of it. Starting with you - lol cue the electric guitars and boss motif :D 

Phenomenal track - great job!
