Cool stuff, very evocative!

Very spooky, would fit right in as a soundtrack to a tense part of a movie/game

OleJazzer!  Welcome back!  This was maybe a little quiet on my system?

yes, definitely a soundtrack to an animated spooky short film

Thanks I have trouble seems getting my soundtracks louder enough. It seems to be a theme all the way through everything I’ve done. Have you got any suggestions?

Also I’d like to do animation. I’m not sure exactly how to get it done for these things. What do you use or where should I start?

The transition to 00:46 got my attention, for sure.  Great choirs, too.  Until the percussion comes in around 1:30, the aesthetic feels similar to old b&W suspense films (which I love)

I'm not sure what your comfort level is with various effects, but in general I'd start by adding a clipper or limiter and turning things up until they either hit the levels you're looking for or start sounding bad.

Thanks I’ll give that a try. I’m going to have to get my week two song in in a couple days because for the last three days I’ve had no Internet thanks to the very cold 1° weather here in Oklahoma. My Internet goes down the eighth of a mile cable And it always goes out when it gets cold. They never believe me because they come to look at it once it’s warm but this time the guy showed up when it was 1° out there and informed me that it was the cable that was bad ha ha ha.  in a couple of days they’re going to send a crew out to replace it. After that I will send something to request and Time to send in my song from week two then I’ll try during week three the idea of a clipper or limiter.
