He's Hiding Behind the Fridge!

No, don't open the fridge door, don't open the fridge-----!!

This is a great throwback to horror soundtracks of previous decades, and your main theme (on cellos, I think) sounds like it belongs in some sort of Fugue from Hell -- how to describe it better?

How about: "Johann Sebastian Bach, if he scored 90's horror films."

Your orchestration is quite good -- to the point at which I would never have guessed that you primarily listened to metal -- and your violins are all over the place, which fits perfectly.

You have this massive build-up to 3:06, creating all this tension. Then it gets really quiet, relieving the tension: that's fine. But at the end, I feel like the track should continue to build up even more tension than the first time. That's my $.02, anyway.

Well that, and I think it needs more cowbell-- I mean, timpani :D

Not bad.

It does create quite a sense of forboding evil, and the spindly instrument at about 1:11 was very eery. I didn't like the dischordant strings at 1:45 very much, I thought they were a bit too much. They could probably have been less dischordant while still achieving the same creepy result. The terrifying buildup from around 2:20 onwards was masterfully done however, I could feel myself getting more and more tense and paranoid as more strings piled on and the pitch rose. Very good at inspiring fear, well done!

Quite the sinister image

Why I listened to this at night, I do not know. All I know is regret now lol

I love that epic buildup towards the end, it's just plain terrifying.

The effort you've put into this piece shows clearly, the creative ways you've used the instruments to evoke your desired emotions is a pure testament to that.

Only one thing: the cello. (that is the instrument, right? I think it is, it seems of the right range) I would recommend playing with its envelopes to get a more realistic sound, I think the release is a little too long and the attack a bit too slow.

BTW, I love that buildup toward the end. Freaking epic and utterly terrifying.

9/10 5/5 and good luck in the contest!

Taken us back to the 90's!

That's what this track does for me because it reminds me of the Days when I used to watch Quantum Leap. The Blood Moon Episode.

I tried to find it for you to show you what I mean. But all i could find was this page. Track 11.

Anyway...This is a good track. It definetly reminds me of a blood sucker. The uneasy strings and repetition just make it sound so classic it's really enjoyable to listen. In some places about 1:35 I found myself jumping out in time with your track. This really grows on you.

The only hiccup is that the last part 3:20+ could have maybe a doubled string staccato's. To give it that extra Vamp Drama! Brilliant stuff! Would fit extremely well with a parody.

Oooh.

I feel like I'm being closed in a dark abandoned tomb, with only darkness, and terror lurking in the places where I can't see. This is a very bone chilling piece. Keep up the good work!
