Get your paracetamol ready. This is easily the worst sounding thing I've made purposely. Inspired by Drakengard, Silent Hill and other painfully dissonant soundtracks, I wanted to have a go at making something filled with dread and nastiness rather than aiming solely for epic. Gotta try new things, eh?


I hope you enjoy it! If you don't then I apologise for the headache!

Damn.

Well, that's all, folks!

Jk..
You came back with a bang! I can definitely hear the despair and especially pressure that the track gives off oh so well. The track gives off such a massive vibe with the distorted and heavily stacked horns and such. It' grand, but so panic-endowing at the same time. I can visualize both Silent Hill and Drakengard in this just as you mentioned yourself.(*cough*are we going toto get any Drakengard-esque themes from you in the future, by any chance?*cough*)

As for points of improvement, the track could've been a bit more organized. The constant stacking horns and others were great, but without any visuals they started to sound too mishmashy and unorganized; it turned to a cacophony of sounds. But once again, that's just from my personal standpoint.

Overall I thing you succeeded well from your first try at this kind of music and I'm definitely looking to hearing more in the foreseeable future!

Greetings, Scorist!

Thank you ever so much for your comment, I really appreciate all kinds of feedback! It's excellent that my inspiration came across for you and that you could hear where I was trying to go with the track! I agree in that it sounded a bit too much of a cacophony in the end also. It's what I aimed for, and yet it came out that BIT too strong in that department! Certainly something to refine with future projects.

There will absolutely be more Drakengard-esque themes along the way at some point. Mostly based on the first and third games as they're my favourite of the three! Okabe's work on the third is astounding and I'd love to replicate that, and the pure dissonance of the first will be fun to continue playing around with!

Cheers for listening to and analysing the piece! As I say, I really appreciate it! All the best and I hope you'll check out my other work and future uploads! Thanks :D

Too short. Want more. Much more. Awesome work
