@subfect - Old school feel, I like it. @Rejinx - Very creepy atmosphere. I could see this song on the main screen music of a video game. @Blak - Pleasant simplistic variety in the intro. Once the energy picked up I thought it was awesome. I am trying to improve my mixing and composition. I have a te...

Now my write up on why it fits the theme. I decided to start with a descending chord progression so that it would feel like the notes are moving away from it's roots. I tried to make it sound a little sad and whiny due to being abandoned. I also decided to go with simple drums because I feel that ha...

So I have been losing a bunch of sleep composing songs for this. I finally settled on one and am now starting the mixing process.

Hello, I am new to this forum. This is my second post, I have been lurking for a while though. I have just been waiting for the right moment to join in and I wanted to participate in Son of Tuna, so this moment feels right. I will try to make a tune that feels so abandoned that your speakers literal...
