about

i wrote this about commentary thing a few months after finishing the track keep in mind
i read the brief about this track and immediately within like 2 hours of it being posted i wrote like the first third of the song without asking if i could claim it lol
i dont remember much of the specifics for the brief but it was very much a "only organic sounds" type deal, i think they wanted religious/church vibes? i got the tubular bells in there on a delay for that, its nice and eerie
i love the deep thumping sound i have too, had just enough of that sub sound for that hairs-on-the-back-of-your-neck vibe.
im so sorry to anyone who wants to do shit with the motifs and stuff i used in this, because of the time signatures. sure i used your typical 4/4 for the start, but start doing 15/8, 11/8, 13/8 stuff in there. this was specifically **NOT** to be wanky. doing it gave it a vibe of unease. you cant tell where The Beat is placed.
i was really happy with making the smooth lead strings (the violin and viola) play the same stuff during the first few sections, and then having them split apart. listeners think its just one instrument but jumpscare, its two!!
i dont have a huge amount to say on this one i guess uhh
