I love sound effects but often struggle to incorporate them into a piece. This song is a prime example of how to use different types of sounds to their full musical potential, gg! I also feel dissonance is used very powerfully here to create persistent unease and dread. The whole thing feels like it’s housed in the arpeggios of an old spook-house organ, which lends it a traditional haunted vibe. Very creative!
This track has so much packed into it! My favorite part is from 1:20-1:40 with the mallet instrument playing chromatic melody followed by the echoed drop. I love the use of sound effects in this track. I also love the pulsing bass pedal tone in the repeat of the A section at the end. It gives it an ominous “something’s here” horror movie feeling. The use of xylophone was very subtle and I would have loved if it was more prominent, but you certainly have a synth vibe going that probably would have felt disrupted with such an acoustic instrument alongside. Overall great job and thank you for sharing!
I'm a big fan of tracks that switch up multiple times through out the piece. I also love the incorperation of 8-bit/chiptune sounds with other instruments! Really cool song!!
Funny start for sure xD. The song starts out really nice and intense. Also like the whispery sound at 0:18. 0:41 definitely feels like a transition. The 0:47 is a bit... weird. It sounds as if you put on reverb (or 'pedal' if it were a piano) making all notes blend in with each other. Not my favorite blend xD.
1:21 starts introducing those things at the beginning again, so it adds consistency. The last section is also a nod to the first, but with this continuous bass sound. Because it repeats the same note, it does strip the chords of their meaning. That doesn't sound wrong and is a choice (it also occurs in music I know), but I am wondering what would happen if that bass would join the chords (moving along with it) the second time that part is repeated (from 2:14).
Whoops, I am rambling again! Nice song, I dig it the second listen more than the first listen. Good job!
Man I Love your comments, I learn a lot from these !! (I'm not OP just in case)
Ahw thanks man! I am not a professional by any means though, so take my feedback lightly - it was given by using my ears, not my "years of musical expertise"!
Yeah, then you have good ears ;)
Very EDMy!
