I like the eerie ambiance at the beginning. The stereo clicks sound a little harsh in the treble range - could be worth it to filter them out with an EQ. The piece is slow to progress and doesn’t have a strong grounding in harmonic content. The riser at 1:15 created some interest for sure, but ended up being a bit of an anti-climax, and the mix is pretty quiet and subdued throughout. The crash at :47 and 2:23 is just a little too loud relative to the rest of the texture. Overall, it’s certainly an evocative mood and sound design you have here, but the composition could’ve been a lot bolder and more dynamic. Still, the echo-y percussion, if subtle, is a nice touch that gives the piece somewhat of a sense of urgency and drive. I hope you keep working on this - it has a lot of potential to be a full-length soundtrack to a horror film. Hopefully in the second half, we get a chase scene or something. :D Keep at it, SkullyHop! ^_^
