AIM 2019 Entry #1


A fun and happy tune about sunshine and the smell of morning dew in the meadow.


Definitely not about impending doom.


Inspired by this piece of art by Nyogosz

The beginning of this piece is so uncomfortable to listen to - and I mean that in the most positive way possible. I think it really speaks to the subtlety of the creepiness in the artwork. Overall, I like the composition a lot - the slow, foreboding dissonance slots is a good approach to the "impending doom" that's written all over this track.

If I had to nitpick one thing that truly bothers me, I think the creepiness kind of gets subdued by some of the MIDI sounding instruments. Like the piano chords at 2:11 feel like they could have had so much more weight to them if they sounded more acoustic and less MIDI. By the time we get to the 4 minute mark, the soundscape feels like it's just missing a lot of that raw power it had from the beginning.

But I do really like the low bassline when it does that little pitch slide and doesn't quite make it up to the pitch it's sliding up to in tune. I guess not having a lot of instruments did help to bring that out. I enjoyed listening to this, even if it does make me feel like something is coming to get me. :P

Peepers responds:

Thanks for the review!

The beginning was definitely supposed to be grating. Glad it worked.
