Thank you so much for your close listening and for sharing all of your thoughts. I think you are probably right and maybe epic is not the best word to describe it, maybe "high energy" is more fitting? I think that Halloween music occupies a space in my mind that is very similar to pirate music for some reason. Probably the most notable similarity is that I feel both in my mind have a prototypical triplet beat subdivision giving both a lilting feeling, I wonder if that is what you are hearing or if there are other subconscious references I also pulled from... And in response to the playful sound, that's just my style. :) Nintendo music filled my childhood and is my number one inspiration for the music I write and it taught me that it is most fun writing music that is fun to listen to! I'm working on leaning into my darker compositional side though and this was at least a stepping stone in that direction for me. Thank you so much your thoughts - feedback is a great way for me to get better and I sure appreciate it!
