Very Very Good
Aptly Named indeed. This composition is different to the other entries and feels very moody and almost evil. I get the feeling of Vampires and eerie beings of the night in an orgy of depravation. Well done and Good Luck in the competition.
Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed this and thanks for the review!
I was starting to worry I was way out of my depth, given that my score is lower than most of the others and no one had reviewed it, so this is a bit of a relief.
But yeah, I'm glad you picked up on the mood of the piece, and thanks for the support!
Yes definitely sets me in the right mood.
Evil! Dark surroundings and no where to be safe, until...
think this one fits into different scenes. And, by scenes i mean in like a movie.
Intro: your outside, it is dark, with a full moon. In front of you, you see a building. Could be a castle or at least a huge building.
You need to get into this building to remove the evil.
The song evolves to you being inside the building. Theres absolutely no lights. you hear odd sounds. You just know that you have to make your way downstairs (the cellar perhaps?)
I can´t help it, but this definitely brgins flashes of vampires. At least that is what first pops up in my mind when hearing this.
NIce work and good luck in the competition
Well i'm glad it sets a strong mood and brings about certain images for you.
To be honest, I didnt really have any particular situation in mind when I wrote this, so it's always interesting to see what it inspires in other people.
Thanks for the review, and good luck to you also!
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!

Hey, thanks for the review!
Yeah, you can tell this wasnt intended to bring about images of sunshine and rainbows lol.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll be sure to try and come up with something even better next time!
Thanks for the support!
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.
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!
Hey, thanks for the review!
I'm glad i managed to evoke the right kind of emotion. The worst thing is when you write a song and everyone takes it the wrong way lol.
But yeah, as for the strings panned to the right, i remember i had a tough time even getting them to come out in the mix, so im not surprised theres still one or two problems.
I think for the sake of the contest I'm gonna leave it how it is, to show its an honest first shot, but after, I may possibly re-submit it with all the improvements everyones suggested and see how it goes.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it though!
