The Closet Under The Bed (Horror-Theme)

Author Comments

Thought I’d update the description to this song so it’s in line with my more current works.

“Imagine the monsters in your closet. Now imagine the monsters under your bed. Now imagine the monsters in the closet under your bed. Picture that in music form and this is what you get.” - original text, Codefreq

I created this song many years ago, at around 2015-2016-ish. It’s the first song I ever wrote that had a horror vibe to it. I was initially trying to go for a Luigi’s Mansion vibe but it ended up creepier than anticipated based on the opinions of the people I showed it to.

I meant to try to modify the song to mix it better but I found out the version of the Arturia instruments I was using had been replaced by an incremental update and some of the FX - type sounds sound completely different when I try to edit the project. As a result, I’m basically stuck with this version now, since it’s the most recent version rendered before the update.

Nevertheless, I’m happy with the writing, and I hope you are too.

Nice and spooky !
Would work perfectly for an opening sequence of an indie horror game or movie.
Those fast (chromatic?) notes from 2:16 to 2:27 are the highlight of this piece.
Can't find anything out of place here ; there's some dissonance on the lows in some parts, but I assume it's intended to create tension and/or atmosphere.

Keep the good work mate.

Thanks for the review! :) My intent with the fast notes you are referring to is to give the sense of a spider crawling around, adding to the spookiness.
