This took me a long while to make, but I like the outcome, though it's short. I really could NOT think of a name. Eventually I came up with "Death's Beat". The song just gave me that idea for some reason. Well, I hope you guys like it, I specifically made it to be used in a flash, so feel free to use it for yours.

Not sure if I would call this death's beat; but I can picture this being a theme song to someone walking at night, maybe in the woods...or in a dark in a desolate city

That's just what comes to mind when I listen to this song with my eyes closed.

I'm going to listen to this all night and see what kind of dream this induces. :D

"Excellent"

If I were working on anything in GM right now (or if I used flash) I would definitely use this. It seems to communicate a feel of darkness, importance, and smooth action. It's a shame that it has such a low score from the early votes.

One thing that could be improved is the ending. This ends in such a sudden, noticeable way that it'd be hard to hide the ending, or loop it after a bit of silence. It'd be nice if it had a smoother, subtler ending.

Ah, I see what you mean. I just didn't know how I should end it, so I just used a subtle ending. Haha, but thanks.

"Sounded cool"

The only really bad thing was that the percussion was a bit on the loud side. The music was good, so it would have been nice if it had been louder compared to the percussion. It also repeated a lot, but since it is for use in a flash, that was okay.
