Whole Tone Haunt

A very appropriate song for me and my kitty to hear right now, and we are enjoying it thoroughly! Very good composition, and the mix feels very dynamic where I'm sitting. Have not listened to much chromatic music lately, but I'm glad I'm hearing yours today. I think you've done really well on this! I apologize for not responding in regard to this halloween project... it has been a difficult time around here, and to be honest, aside from the pumpkin on the front steps, halloween has been far from my mind. It seems to come down to survival right now, and I'm sure you understand. I really am digging this song! Major Fave!

Reading some of the other comments, Its funny how everyone has his/her own look on this haha.

For me it sounds like some sort of chase. The song goes 'faster' along the way where it sounds like more drama gets involved into the scene. or intensified. However you'd name it. The parts starting around 2:55 sound typically like a 'caught scene where the beat represents a heartbeat'. But that could also come because I recently made an epic intro for a aboriginal themed track where someone is wandering the woods and get caught by an aboriginal tribe where his heart is going crazy from.

Anyways, I like it man. Its very weird, but also brings in more depth then it reveals at first.

The first few minutes remind me of "Child of Light" which is a video game, link for inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OibB43zffI
If you are really considering doing something in video games, i would definitely recommend you!

Well i gotta say i love the darkness, and also the almost video game quality it has. I love originality and creativity and this has both. Awesome work my friend.

Hello Dan,
There isn’t any word that can be said about your talent mate.
Big well done to you mate.
Really enjoyed it.

I love whole tone atonal music, and this is nice, plus the midi makes it sound spookier in like a seventies-eighties way. I love the fact you are exploring all the flavours music has to offer in the theoretical world!.

I like this version. I have some samples from a few movies that will work well setting the seance scene nicely. Is that knocking on the table I hear? I wonder if this medium is one that produces the ectoplasm snot stuff ;)

Hi Dan,

I'm listening to this track and staring at the Edwardian Haunted artwork in a dark room while everyone else is asleep. Haha. But instead of being spooked by her, I feel that she's giving me a sense of strength and power. :) Do I want any of her "mystical, spiritual knowledge and awareness"? - Yes, please! :-D

Although it is subtle compared to the other elements of the track, the most striking feature for me is the drum loop that sounds like someone knocking or some footsteps. Although, I wouldn't want to actually hear those sounds right now. Hehe. Kidding.

Midisparksartsales is awesome! I'll see if I can create a spooky track. I've been going through boxes of my grandmother's stuff and I've found interesting objects that could inspire tracks too!

Through your music and website, you invite us to be more imaginative and creative. Thanks, Dan! :)

Hey Dan,
this is interesting stuff. In a way it is like DesignedImpression said kind of game music. Could be a part of the soundtrack from System Shock .... check this link out to get what i mean https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fz1wlcZnhv8 ..... this soundtrack was the best i ever listen to in a game. Fear pure :)

I really enjoy the listen

stay tuned

Very interesting stuff Steve...more so because I'm toying with the dissonance myself recently, but I doubt whether I can come up with something as successful as this..:)
Admirable experimental work ! Faved !:)

Compliments and respect_____Orlando

Hey Dan, After hearing Edwardian Haunted then hearing this is like the next stage scene. Could be a video game type theme, im playing to it in my mind and as odd as it may sound it works in a different but cool kind of way. Your studies with scales have been fun to dab into. The instrument sound at 0:20 into the track is a nice choice I enjoy working with that same type of sound as well as the one that starts at 1:00 into the track. Cool drums, got that dnb/dance feel which makes the mental thought of this composition very interesting for me. Fan of older synth sounds. All these new instruments are too much haha.

Hello!
the beat sound is lower than others instruments. It's certainly an artistic choice, right?

I feel the love..lol. I love anything that is dissonant. The whole tone scale is one of my favorite scales along with enigmatic scale. You can do a lot with it when mixing it up with major and minor chords and scales. Very intriguing piece like all your other work, well done. Thanks for sharing with us.

Weird xD Love you!
