Title: A small horror-ish tune
Post by: Mouth for war on Wed 31/08/2011 18:40:48
Made this tune when you meet one of the baddies in JTT2. It's for a short encounter (the scene takes 1 minute or something). Soooo....Do you like it or do you hate the damn thing hehe? :D

Is that just me, or is the file corrupted or something? I certainly can't play it.

I listened to it early and it sounded decent. Sorry I didn't comment until now. Just at the point where I started to think this is getting a little repetive you introduced some new elements.  It was an ok song definitely a horror vibe.  But take my comment for what it is worth; me not being much of a music person.

When I click the link, it just redirects me to http://www.woofiles.com/. If you could upload it to another host, I would be more than glad to offer some constructive criticism.

I liked it, it reminded me of the RE opening.

Think a little percussion might be in order, but that could just be the influence of the RE tune now going through my head.

sounds great so far.

the only bad thing i could say, maybe that "piiiing" at the start, and sometimes, is kinda funny, it reminds me of a bad Goosegumps score, but dont know the story the sog is based on, so may be fine as well.

Also, maybe expand the theme with a "bridge" (dont know the term in english) in the middle of the song, or just some different motif.

Bur really great, it makes me nervous and thrilled! :o

It serves its purpose: spooky and unnerving. The base melody reminds me of
Diablo's Tristram soundtrack  (http://youtu.be/Q2evIg-aYw8)

The score is supposed to be subtle.  Set the mood for the scene without drawing attention to itself.  Keep in mind, the music sets a good mood for exploring the old pirate cave, but not boss-battle with the undead captain

So whether or not the music is good for the scene kind of depends on what is supposed to be happening when JIMMY encounters SUB-BOSS.

That sounds good. But the sci-fi-ish sound effect (0:10) sounds a little bit distracting, though it may fit depending on the atmosphere you were going for. Also dissonant melody bit (0:47) doesn't really fit in the whole otherwise very clear melody in my opinion.
