Who wakes those that slumber

Dang, week 10. Impressed I made it

This week went back to garageband, needed a little moment to play with something else and wanted to make a little eerie thing.

eerie = achieved! i really like how sparse and open and unsettling (but oddly comforting?) this feels.
and congrats on making it to double digits! so glad you decided to jump in smile

Very eerie! There's something very unsettling in the starkness here, and also the sense that the plucked instrument isn't just atmospheric, but that there is a performer in the room we can't see, oblivious to everything else, which in itself is ... eerie. Very mood.

mission accomplished! the tonal distance between the string and and koto certainly makes for an eerie atmosphere. made me think of a strange room full of clocks (maybe because the string attack has some similarities to mechanical sounds). parts of the melodies also sound like more traditional koto music

oo a strange room of clocks... that sounds like a great idea for a later work. Thank you
