What Game Segment is this Theme For?
Deep Dark
Description
lots of noise and such, love me some melodic bandpass in fruity love filter, otherwise i just wanted hummy weird moving ambient noise and decided it fits deep dark best.
most of the samples used are actually super harsh i just didnt want to make harsh noise for minecraft so i toned all of them down in various ways.
sorry i didnt write more its 4 am and im tired

Absolutely love the vibes of this, it makes me feel super tense in a good way, I think it leans well into the more creepy and horror esque feelings of the Deep Dark and the way you interpreted it is super super cool to me. Initially i thought it was too quiet, but I think it fits really well as this quieter ambient hum that just gets louder and more confusing sometimes, good shit! I think sometimes the high/mids got a bit loud compared to everything else, but honestly is still really enjoyed this.
Interesting work though I'm not sure about its "minecraftyness", I feel it would fit better in a sci-fi settings
Thumbs up for going for something a little bit more experimental. I am quite a bit into drone/noise music so I think it is really cool to have it represented in this jam.
What I look for the most in this type of music is a unified aesthetic when it comes to the sounds used/produced. For my taste, the track lacks a little in regards to this cohesion. When listening I do not get a clear picture in my head of where the track is supposed to take me. With regards to production I would argue that there could be some more low-end rumble in the louder parts to give them some more weight. Apart from that, I really like it.
To start with some small critics : some frequencies may be a little too boosted and I feel like some noise are too "mechanic" and kind of break the immersion, but otherwise quite the take on the deep dark, really fitting and obnoxious !
agreed, just wish i had more time to flesh it out further
Ominous feel achieved! Good job!
This song match the fact that was made at 4 am lol.
