Genius sending that cassette player down the river with the auto reverse! Erik's still chasing it!! That door opening is great, I use that alot. Opening the door on the horror :p I stumbled upon this cool house under the operahouse, as I poke my head in the door, your sitting at Erik's organ jamming away!

All any of us can ever ask is that our music paint an audio picture for the listener, to take them where we want them to go. You did that and did it really, really well. I wanted a lot more of this one, but I can always hit the "play" button again, haha.

Seriously, brilliant work. I think you have a real shot at winning this competition. Well done TA. I hope all is well.

Yeah, it seems to be the consensus that the track should've been longer. I think I made a fair trade-off with the door opening and closing, because you can just hit reply and ride the haunted house all over again. YAY!

Thank you for your wonderful praise. I'm really glad that you enjoyed the track.

That was excellent dude... The organ always has the ability to scare people, including myself... Good job sir! :)

Me too! The organ scene in Carnival of Souls always gives me shivers.

Cheers.

Organ always adds to the scare. the way you brought in the chorus was really nice. the "welcome home" bits are def scary. nice job.

Thanks! I couldn't make a horror track without an organ. It's just so iconically haunting.

Does Erik know you were playing with his organ? I bet you wore his mask too! YaaaYY!! I smell lasagna cooking :D Cool house on this underground lake, under the operahouse Erik's got here. I see why he hid and boobie trapped it. Going be a haunting good time! Is there a secret exit into the catacombes?

Erik got drunk and is in the opera house, swinging of the chandeliers. So I've had the place all to myself. Trying to find my way out of the catacombs and I'm running dangerously low on lasagna... If I don't return, please punch Raoul in the face for me. His foppish crooning is bumming everyone out.

I agree that it is a bit too short. But I wanted the track to be quality and my time has become very limited, so I think it's a fair trade off. However, I will expand it when I have a free afternoon in my possession.

Thanks for listening and commenting. It always boosts morale.

Hey this is actually very unique. I love that first segment so much. I also dig the modern feel it has. Glad you could use my drums :3

Oh good, I was hoping you would comment. Your drum loops are awesome! I had some really rubbish programmed drums and then I found the two I used and the whole song came together. So a big thank-you to you sir! :)

Reminds me a little bit of Rammstein. Love it! The creak at the beginning really sets the mood.

I love the creepy whispers toward the end. Your vocals elevate the whole thing into something special. I like your idea of expanding this into a longer track; I think it would lend itself well to a more expanded treatment.

Thank You CD. I really loved doing the vocals. If no one else, I think it freaked my housemates out! I will expand the track, but I need to mull over what direction to take it in.

Thanks again.

Wow, great atmosphere!
Not horribly scary, but still enjoyable.

21 seconds to about 33 seconds reminds me a lot of a couple modern psych-pop groups. I would definitely try to expand on that style of music if I were you, you're really good at it.
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 9th Oct 2015 - 10 years ago
Yeah, I was more going for a Phantom of the Opera style thrill ride, rather than all out scary.
I was thinking about expanding the song into a longer track with more vocals and some guitar work. But it may have to wait as I'm working on 3 other tracks atm. Still trying to find my signature style at the moment. So I'll definitely keep your comment in mind.

Thanks

Description : "Celebrate the Cornerstone," penned by Kay Matteson, John Matteson, and Richard Shekari, is an uplifting contemporary worship song that beautifully encapsulates themes of salvation and divine love. Drawing from biblical imagery, the lyrics highlight Jesus as the Chief Cornerstone—initially rejected but ultimately essential to faith.
