Description
A fast and stressful DnB song, inspired by the cover art of the OST composing jam, and the theme "Monstrous" of the 2HAC.

The music was entirely made during the jam. A first draft of the track was created in 2 hours and published for the 2HAC Volume 19.
I then continued working on the song for several hours to publish it for the OST composing jam.

It follows an idea of someone running for his life in the forest, under the rain, with some monster running behind him. It also represents an attempt at expressing a 2-phases boss with a "it's not over yet" part at the end.

Theme:

Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
I pictured someone running for its life through the forest, chased by a giant monster

Very impressive for 2h working on this. Thanks for sharing. Where do I join this 2h challenge? Sounds like fun!

Developer

Thank you! Although this version took way more than 2 hour, only the first draft was 2 hours, and can be listened to here https://2hac.bandcamp.com/album/monstrous-2hac-volume-19.
Indeed, the challenge is a lot of fun, there is a dedicated website, https://2hac.abstractionmusic.com/, and also a specific jam based on songs created during the challenge here https://itch.io/jam/ost-jam-v7 (and it is live right now!)

I love it! The leads are perfect and the beat it's so contagious. Everything gave me a sensation of urgency, you know? This is totally appropriate for a game with the "Runaway" theme!😁

Developer(+1)

Exactly! Really happy you felt the urgency, that's exactly what I was looking for, feeling like you're running for your life! Thanks a lot!

Ooh long time no see ! Nice track, super cool percussions details and nice dynamics throught the piece, very retro too, I enjoyed everything !

Developer

Thanks you so much! Yeah, it has been a long time, I try to do things but rarely finish them these times around... Glad you enjoyed, I went kinda crazy with the drums indeed but it feels fun

The synths are really well executed and the transitions are smooth as butter, really well done!

Loved the creepy bell synths! And the lead synth that transitions in at around 58 seconds and again later in the track! Also great, job transitioning leads mid-melody, I always find that difficulty and you did it so smoothly!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Yeah that lead synth felt so good I felt like I had to put it everywhere !
