Marnie’s Bizarre Adventure: This opening track feels like the start of a grand adventure! But then the second section has a dismayed vibe. Then when the drums and electric guitar return, there is a sense of determination that tells me Marnie is ready for the rest of the adventure to unfold!

Under the Bed: I like the use of synths to convey a sense of mystery and feeling of loss. This track feels like a debriefing track which fits with your description that this is where we get the backstory for the evil ceiling fan.

Where the Wild Worms Are: The beat is really fun and sets up a nice first-boss battle theme. I really enjoy your use of electric guitar - the quality is really great and fits with the energy needed for the story.

Whispers from the Dark: Your story for this part of the soundtrack is really funny. This feels like the prelude to stepping into the Colosseum.

Her Light’s Embrace: The gentle melody in a major key gives this track a sweet sound conveying the holiness you describe.

Her Shadow’s Touch: The sound is now more ominous and dissonant to show direct contrast from the previous track. I like the record stopping sound effect!

When I Was Younger: The pizzicato strings combined with the electric guitar chords and the electronic drum kit gave this track a really fun feel that had me bobbing my head the whole time. 

Minions of the Ceiling Fan: This is a really fun battle theme! I really like the fast moving lines. The long melodies feel very epic over the stadium drum pattern. The violin melody also is really cool. This is a very fun track!

Out of Hiding: The violin 16th notes are super cool in this track! This has a final level intensity to it for sure! The progression of energy is very nicely crafted here. What a fun resolution to your great story about Marnie!

Overall: This was a very creative story that navigated so many emotional themes and many compositional styles. I think your strength lies in the epic/hard rock combo style with the orchestral strings. The last three tracks stood out to me as my favorites. Very nicely done - thank you for sharing!

Thank you for the listen and the kind words!

I added the record spindown to the middle of "Her Shadow's Touch" because I felt the vinyl/record effects on the violin weren't coming across clearly - it just sounded like the VST for the violin wasn't playing correctly. Originally, the song was just a mirror image of the original with a lot of pitch effects and "warbling," but the dissonance was pretty heavy handed and it just didn't feel great to listen to. I think I spent more time on this one than any other track, and I almost left it out of the submission entirely, but it turned out more or less OK. If anything, it was good practice in experimenting with the unknown! 

You can probably tell from your comment about my strengths (and that was spot on,) but Minions of the Ceiling Fan was definitely my fave track. Fast-paced battle themes are my comfort zone. :) 

Thanks again for the listen, I always love to see feedback from experienced and talented composers!
