One take performance with a music box being processed in my modular synth along with the Octatrack playing another texture and an effect on the mix.

There is a strong sense of mystery floating above this track. The large drone punctuated by bells has a eerie quality.

Very cinematic, this would work super good on an horror movie.

Would love to listen to a full album of this

Thanks all!  And just quickly, I forgot to add the video of it in action in case you're curious.  Description updated.

The music box is so welcoming and warm and then a dark ominous fog fills the deep forest.

Oh my goodness. I have a weak spot for music boxes, but the processed music box with its broken-up melody over that pensive drone really triggers my fear circuit. Great work - this should be on a horror soundtrack.

haunting and contemplative, love the sparseness of it all.

welp, i was HOPING to sleep tonight...


(awesome mix)

Most excellent 👍
