Absolutely cinematic textures here. Loved how that water sound played along with the string-like drones, and was sort of like a link to the real world. When the water dropped away, it really did start to go wrong. Also, you got me twice with the jump scares (at :51 and 2:03).

I'd really like to hear what you could do with this sort of concept given more than a week! The idea of doing the track as a sort of Lovecraftian journey from the mundane to insanity is FANTASTIC.

Nice atmospherics - i am into this kind of thing myself just recently. Keep it up :-)

I love the way the sounds kinda merge and layer but so subtly to make this kinda flowing soundscape with sounds dipping in and out. Nice work!

There is no escape from R'lyeh. When you leave R'lyeh, you carry R'lyeh with you, and R'lyeh will never part from your shadow.

This is an amazing journey for a short two minutes and change. The shrill screams in particular stood out for me in all the best ways - caught me off guard, disturbed me, but still felt quite musical. I think the ability to make music unsettle us but keep listening - or listen again - is very challenging, and this captures that experience really well. It's the fine difference in a horror movie you watch once, or one you can watch again and again - the comfort of being unsettled and disturbed. It's a kind of magic. This is awesome.

In terms of time and chewability - a lesson I've learned from Weekly is that some songs and some genres just need more than a week to really execute to their most successful form. This is probably one of those pieces to revisit and give the time it deserves - there's so many wonderfully spooky and unsettling passages in there, you could easily expand this into a longer piece and really build that mood to a whole other level. Aka a whole album. It's begging you to be made lol.

Thank you, this one was a lot of fun to make.  And yeah, I am also keen to see what happens when I have a bit more time...and this cosmic insanity sounds like a pretty tasty idea

Cheers, I appreciate you giving it a listen!!

Thank you kindly, I quite like trying to mix the sounds so you can't see (or hear I guess) the edges

Nice, I see you're familiar with the old mans stories.  It's an odd thing finding comfort in the things that are meant to frighten us, but you are spot on there.  Probably one of the reasons I'm still a goth at my ever increasing age.  Horror scores, dark ambient...like a sonic hug.  And thank you, much like I wrote to PaisleyFrog above I am keen to see where I can take all this once WB is over for the year.

Thank you, that makes me really happy to read

Oof the sound design on this is so good.  Those thuds and shrills totally set the mood.  I felt like I was in a dark swampy Dagobah   Love the way the drones breathe in and out too.
