This has a mesmerizing power... It slowly grew on me. Like the darkness getting around our hero.
The mixing mastering you did played a lot, I guess. There is a lot of well intricated and designed sounds from the distant crackling to sometimes what seemed to be violins melting in the audio space with others ambiant sounds.
It is a very well crafted submission and I really enjoyed the experience. I definitely was in that boat at some point!
Thanks for posting this wonderful job!
