The opening Piano has a bit of a murder mystery vibe. The singing and bells gives it sort of a Silent Hill meets Evil Dead feel to it. I especially love the ticking clock.
Reviews for "A Night in the Attic"
Listening to your audio and reading your author comment's did make me feeling like story with sound of music in the background. Pretty good audio and lovely voice. I had a good time visiting here xD

Oooh, glad to hear! 💖 Thank you so much for listening!
From someone who's skill is still developing, I'd say this is really good. You've definitely put together an atmosphere that matches perfectly with the description. All instruments are well played.
Everything blends nice, and as I mentioned to you earlier, you have a pretty voice! The harmonies and softness from your voice is a really nice touch to make this track have a very atmospheric and haunting feel.
This is really interesting to hear, and I like this quite a bit! Good job here, my friend. :)
oooooh, that atmosphere, so eerie and spooky, i love that, this should be some horror games soundtrack for sure! would fit in so perfectly, great flow with the melody, the choir fits in perfectly aswell! great job.

Well, Trois, this was one of my favourites of the round. The atmosphere is rich, yet perfectly simple and quite creepy in a wonderful way. The glockenspiel is the star of this track, in my opinion. The way it bounces around in that toy-like fashion is marvellous (especially towards the end of the song). Your vocals are both haunting and enchanting, great work creating that two-fold feeling. Due to your voice, I can honestly say that I felt completely immersed in that dark attic with stitched-up teddy bears, and bent, broken action figures watching me from the corner of an old toy box. If there was any one thing about this track that I appreciated above all else, it was how you transitioned the song from a feeling of eeriness to that of wonder and awe starting at 3:56. I felt the execution was just right! It gave me a feeling of relief and nostalgia, like the toys were angry and upset at first, but then they became benevolent through a spark of life.
The piano sounded a little cliché at times, but I thought it made a great fit into the song at the same time. The mix could use work, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Certain instruments sounded quite muddled, the piano being the biggest offender. I also feel like your voice needed a bigger spotlight! Trois, you have a great voice, and it would have shined a lot brighter if it was brought up in volume and into the foreground, so to speak. Also, as much as I loved the glock, it was a tad loud at times. Nothing too serious, but something to be mindful of since it can become too sharp if played too hard.
Loved this song, you did an excellent job. I'm really looking forward to your next piece! :)
Score: 8.75/10

I wish you had a next piece to look forward to considering the context of this one... I am revisiting it one year on and it still pains me that I cannot give any better.
