NAC Judge
Ok let's start with saying this piece is amazing and get this out of the way. Now let's go over the flaws which prevent it from being perfect. It was a bit repetitive and short, didn't have the children samples it could have benefited from and the mix is a bit quiet. On the bright side it's a perfect loop to be used in flash games and movies. Really great submission for the contest.

Great melody and unerving ambience make this sound great for a game, and the fact that it loops this perfectly is surely a bonus.
I find it kind of short and repetitive to be a submission for the NAC however.
Song- 8/10

It's strange how well this loops; how the sound effects are perfectly synced from the end to start over in the beginning. I do really enjoy the minimal nature of this. Though, I thought there could have been at least one other instrument layering over and pushing along the melody line. Like a string screeching out the left hand rhythm somewhere towards the middle. I also really love the ambient soundscape in the background, it's enchanting. But I thought this piece as a whole could be expanded much more! However, it's a nice stylistic choice to keep it purely ambient, and the fact that it loops sort of makes up for its short duration. Pretty cool work here!

I made it mostly for use in halloween flashes so I try to just supply the tonality and atmosphere without a melody that distracts from whatever is going on

Interesting song. The song was a little repetitive, as in the tuned percussion melody kept repeating over and over with little variation at some points, but the sound effects in the background kept it interesting a majority of the time. I think that the song could have the same emotion to it, and the same flow to it if you changed up the melodies in the tuned percussion a little bit. Like I said, it seems to focus a lot on the background noises which is distracting enough from the other stuff so it works out fine. Also, it loops really well, I listened to it a few times before realizing it was looping. And was the title a shoutout to Tim Burton? Nice one if you did :P But overall, it's a nice loop, it could use a little more variety, but it's nice

Also, it'd be awesome if you could listen to my original song "The Return" and give feedback!
