**NOTE: Sadly, didn't give myself a whole lot of time to make small adjustments to the piece, like playing with glitching or pitch-shifting. Still trying to get used to my DAW being on this temporary laptop / updating and reinstalling all of its plugins and software. There's some added bells and whistles, and I did try to make small variations in the melodies/harmonies. If I return to this at a later date, I'll ensure to add more effect variations to make the piece jump even more. :) But, thank you for listening nonetheless. :D Hope you enjoyed it in its current state. ♥

Wow, very nice results considering the additionnal self imposed rules!
The track indeed feels like a ritual ceremony and it seems that humbaba was successfully summoned, for better or worse^^
I like the careful sound selection, and variety of rythms.
Maybe certain parts were a bit repetitive, but in such short time, can't blame you for not finetuning everything.

The middle part was a nice surprise and change of pace, beautiful orionstring chords there and atmospheric flyby before returning to serious buisness in the forest and completing the ritual!
Well done, and i'll check your music again :)

Side note: While the track doesn't sound too bass heavy on my system/headphones (my room has horrible sound anyway), i didn't think it was a bad thing at all!
Maybe i'm from a different generation and culture, but not all music has to be bass heavy all the time imho.
But if that's your goal, then build the track as bass heavy from the very start, but you'll still need high frequencies and silences to put contrast emphasis on that low end!

While the melodies are *really* dissonant throughout (and not in a good creepy way), the atmospheres and sound designs in this is superb. The pads sounds quite loud and there are not enough sub bass imo, but the structure still works and the vibe is still immaculate

TheVodouQueen responds:

Hi there! Unsure how to respond, but I'm not sure how the melodies are dissonant in not a good way? The intent was for them to have an echo and shimmer, and there is bass and sub bass present... Perhaps it is a sound balancing issue, but I seem to constantly struggle with getting people hooked to the melody and harmony in all my songs...which is kind of disheartening. Sound design, drum kit and vibe are always brill and praised, but everything else is less than desirable and it reflects in the scores something fierce.... I am at a loss how to strengthen those attributes, although this was just done in about a day's time....

If you have any tips or tricks, those would be great to share. I apologize if the melodies and pads were too harsh, but glad you enjoy the remaining bits that were good. :)

Thank you for your critique! Always nice to receive them when I can. ♡

Yo this is siiick dym if I might eventually use this in a geometry dash level if not it’s chill

TheVodouQueen responds:

Thanks for listening and enjoying! I don't know much about Geometry Dash (is it like Beat Saber or something?)--however, you *can* download the song. I guess if you do, please give credit where credit is due. ♥ And don't transform the work. That's basically all I ask. xD
