it got totally spooky and dark this time. I enjoyed 4:25 when the dark drone released me and it got bright again.

The whispered voice is appropriately creepy.  It startled me when it first came in even though I read the description and had some warning that it was coming.  This would be a good soundtrack for Halloween.

These whispers are really dark. Just the right pitch and it somehow reminds me of the voice of Dracula's brides in Bram Stoker's version. Intimate and scary. The high pitch wails pads/flutes are also chilly. Love it. Halloween vibe 6 weeks early.

Those string-like swells really add to the tension when the darker noise bed comes in.  I agree the spoken word felt just right with the overall tone and mood of the track.  'Scuse me while i get rid of these goosebumps... yikes

This for sure would be great halloween playlist music. It's amazing what kinds of textures and soundscapes synths are capable of. I'm looking up that Strega/0-ctrl, it looks really cool (and sounds really cool here!)

I thought this was really beautiful, loved this from the intro rhythm and that absolutely beautiful distance to the instruments / mix in the beginning, I think that kinda set my attention up. I really like quiet sounds recorded close and heard loudly, and there's something really enticing about human whisper. Beautiful work, one of my favorites of yours. heart

A big thanks for all the comments.  I've finally gotten round to catching up on listening and commenting.  This track is a nice bump for Halloween as several of you mentioned here smile
