Ragtime Me To Hell

Share

Author Comments

Ragtime music set in a 1950s bar. The character enjoys a drunken game of darts, then suddenly starts hearing voices compelling him to kill!


I wrote a ragtime piano part (my first ever attempt!), then tried to warp and twist it with distorted synths a hellish choral sounds. My client wanted the music to suddenly stop so the character feels more like he's going insane!


This was a really fun student project. Would love to work on more just like it!


Let me know what you all think :)

I love the story behind this piece, it really helps me understand the progression better. The mood is set nicely and I can imagine things getting pretty intense at this part of a game. Personally I would have made the piece longer before the "insanity" build-up begins, and maybe added a pad of some kind to fill out blank spots, but that¨s just me and it probably woudln't fit in the setting.
Honestly I'm not that good of a musician to think of anything else to say, your work is solid, I also enjoyed "Threats" and couldn't think of anything constructive to say there. Keep it up!

Thanks mate! Client did want it sudden, and there wasnt much time. Had to cram a lot in a minute! I agree maybe it could be more subtle haha

Hey. This is pretty darn cool. Fits perfectly with the scene you described. You did great on telling a story with this! I honestly wonder why you have so little listens on this. Same as zelazon, I think you could have made it a little less repetitive on the piano. Awesome work anyways!

wobwobrob responds:

The simple reason for so few listens is I've only been on NG for 2 days! I got added to the audio portal today. Slowly but surely, we'll get there :)

Oh yeahhhhh! That piano is spot on xD

Dude, if that's a real piano awesome playing. If it's not then awesome job creating a real piano!

Lol, I love the descent into madness. Very accurate and interesting sounds. As if the atmosphere of madness is clouding out the touch with reality.

Then snap, back to the bar.

You've fit the description perfectly dude so 5/5 :)

wobwobrob responds:

It is real piano playing! Although I did correct a couple bum notes :P
Thanks so much :)

Yes, this sound like an 1950-s song, and it sound like Vernian Process - songs
