This is my submission to the fall 2025 edition of 12 Story Music Composing Competition! The task was to compose a piece of music inspired by and relevant to the wonderful artwork seen in the video by Rebecca Hu.

I envisioned a lone detective going through the crime scene looking for clues that'll get him closer to solving the case.

You can find the artwork here: artstation.com/artwork/PmoR0B

Composed in Reaper.

Samples used:

Cinematic Studio Series
East West Hollywood Orchestra (Percussion)
Abbey Road Vintage Drummer

May the best composer win!
