Score: 10
"Hits you simply and subtly with its intricacy"

The music box type sound is so fitting, the bassed up reverberations that feel like they shouldn't be there, and that classic sense of unease of the endless melody is, well it's good stuff.
I really love the overlay of the single emphasized notes, especially how they echo here and there. It's like you're tricking us into making constant, brief, almost forgettable little notices of what's off to our left -a side most people aren't as comfortable with, being right handed.
OF COURSE, I listen with headphones so the effect is strong to me but I imagine someone with surround would find this extra creepy too... their imagination can chillingly fill the void where their acute directional perception would falter. Interestingly, being slightly left-centered (left-handed) I think I sometimes perceive things in a "left" vs "both" ear sense. So that might be why I notice the way the sounds come off a little different on the left than the right.
In any case these little details really draw my interest. You seem like someone who puts a lot of thought into choosing and balancing the sounds you use and I have a lot of respect for what you do.
