ooo great brass lead here! this wasn't a common thing in other submissions, so that stood out to me a lot.
i liked the strong rhythmic impetus as well, and the consistent dissonant riff underneath. this feels very fitting of the theme, and i enjoyed listening to it. awesome job! :)
I can picture this soundtrack playing while a massive boss stumbles around trying to attack the player! The complexity across the variety of instruments/tracks creates a unique sonic experience.
Thanks for sharing with us!
Thank you so much!
When I was reflecting on the sound a pumpkin would make when approaching this jam, I had in my mind a sound that you have perfectly captured here! That low bouncy bass is exactly the sound I imagine pumpkins to have! There seems to be a reference to some of the creepy music from the original Pokemon games here with the repeated melody notes and the particular intervals you used. This definitely gives a spooky feel to it. The drums make me imagine a slow and plodding boss that is slowly chasing after you. Good work and thank you for sharing!
Thanks
I really like it.
The arrival of the brass is great and adds a nice tension to the piece.
It's boss music, but to me it's not boss fight music, it's more like the boss theme. The kind you might hear in a cut scene.
The orchestration is very good and the percussion is top notch.
Thanks!
Very determined, a storm slowly brewing, loved it! I have to say I don't think it's very spooky, but SOMETHING is definitely coming. You had my attention throughout, very efficient use of your material.
Thanks!
One thing that is wild about this song is that I never really knew what to expect. I kept on getting surprised by what's coming next, even though I can't really explain why. I really like the sound, it's very tense! It really builds up a lot of dread and fear as it goes along.
Though to be honest, when I see the Pumpkin King I think less of the tension of dread and fear, and more something like an intense kind of horror.
Great job here, this is pretty solid!
Thanks! I think with this kind of track you need a lot of tension that's not really ever resolving.
