More sad times on trains. More chiptune-esque songs on the M8.

Awesome piece, it has a Danny Elfman energy to, dark but in a kind of playfully gothic way. Awesome track.

If “Wuthering Heights” were a game for the Atari. Despondent and mesmerizing.

Wonderfully gothic. All the ways you extend the melody feel fresh, and I really like how the high harmonies can bring in subtle mood shifts without fully taking over the piece. I'd have been tempted to do a hard-rock/Castlevania turn in the middle, so I admire how you kept the piece small and lonely

dang, this would be perfect for a funeral

such a good analogy

This is so cool! I love how many layers it has, and how well melded together everything feels

It's got that spooky horror vibes that Dracula would have in the background.
