I like how you use both the turntable sound and silence as instruments. Very effective spookiness!

I like the big drum and the static sound that you start with and use throughout. I think your mallet ostinato has a good sound to it - at the same time I would have liked to possibly hear some motion and some sort of chord change. I do really like the downward pitch bend and think that was a really cool effect. The sudden silence was a little confusing and I wonder if filling that space with some ambient sound or some reverb would help fill that gap a bit. Overall I think you did a good job, and thank you for sharing!

Very spooky song! I think it could use a little bit of variation, but it's very good. The sound effects didn't really fit the song, but still, they add that creepy vibe to the song. Only one more thing for me to criticize you for (sorry) I think that the silences were too frequent, but the ambient effects really spike that creepy sound in the song. You should look into Nicks comment, I'm not very good at songwriting.

I think it definitely has potential, but is lacking in some area's.
It started out strong. Exactly when I thought "this is now repeating too long" you did the 0:29 whatever-you-call-it scary stuff, and I liked it! The silence, followed by the static made me feel a drop or something was coming. Didn't happen :(. Still, the silence at 0:52 was unexpected and delightful. I do think the bassline is repeating a bit too much without anything like a melody or much variation. You've got something nice going here, but it doesn't feel entirely complete yet. Overal though, not bad at all, good job!
