A small horror-ish tune

Mouth for war · 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?

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

Really?!? I tried to download it myself and play it and it worked.

Seems to be a host error, I get a small file containing this:

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.

Hmmm...weird...better find another host then :S

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.

Thanks!

I was actually thinking about adding some drums...and now that you mentioned it, I might as well do it

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

thanks

but as I said...the scene is very short so I doubt the song will last till the cutscene is over hehe

It serves its purpose: spooky and unnerving. The base melody reminds me of
Diablo's Tristram soundtrack

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.
