The evolving harshness of the musicbox was a great choice.

Been there with losing samples, especially lately. Summer storms are wrecking our powergrid over here.

The low thrum under this one is AMAZING...almost feels like a summer evening that wants to rain and distant thunder. Great job, it's so easy for stuff like that to turn to mud, it's so clear in your mix.

The music box/metallic samples are like an assault against the stillness. Clenched more than once when they came across...in a good way! (Checked out that link, a distorted music box like that with your kind of ambience would be brutal. Looking forward to hearing that!)

whoa, excellent work here. very unsettling. kinda reminded me of the movie, "Us."
not so much the soundtrack (can't actually recall that right now), but the way it made me feel. i'm sufficiently creeped out over here!

Maybe cuz i was juuuuust playing Little Nightmares 2 but goodness this gave me chills just like the game has a habit of.  Those underlying droney pads are just as chilling as the higher music box.  Awesome work!

Oh that's tragic... there are few things worse then coming back to something you expect to be saved to find that it's not there... Pretty good pivot though.  This creates a pretty solid sense of creeping dread... the metallic sounds are such a perfect like "perversion" of the initial music box tones... very ominus sense of like building evil.

Yikes, sounds concerning.  I've fears for a similar summer down here.  And thanks, was fun to mess around with.

Thanks, I was happy with the lows on this, so much to learn about mixing.  And cheers, if I am able to get my head around this theory I am trying to learn I will give it a shot.  That composer (Akira Yamaoka) is one of my favorites so no doubt his influence will creep into a lot of what I do.

Thank you. And yeah I can see where you are coming from about Us, more in inference than anything.  I'm glad I was successful with the creep factor.

Hahahaha, I'm glad I extend the game world a little for you.  Thank you, it was a bit of fun playing those two tones against each other.

I'm beginning to understand that, even though I work in IT this was the most concerned about data loss I've been in quite some time.  And thank you, creeping dread is certainly something I will work more with.
