Today, we finally have April's poll ready. Due to a heavy work schedule and some personal stuffs, I fell behind a bit here. My apologies, everyone. I'm currently working on May's poll and most likely will have that one going before this one ends, so they might be running a couple days concurrently.
Okay, now onto the new samples, of which there are 5.
The first is a dark fantasy track named "The Elves of Night." We have a harp to set a foresty kind of mood and some rising strings for our dark fantasy element. The percussion is some echoing wooden sticks that pair well with the strings. We also have a violin and some flute, because everyone knows you can't have fantasy and elves around without some kind of airy woodwind!
The second is an atmospheric horror track called "Asylum." It starts with some evolving pads that have a little grit to their sound. The other elements slowly enter to add to the sense of tension. We have cello, violins, a bass drum and finally the piano, which plays in rising fashion, especially that last little bar that borderline sounds happy. Played against all the dark background sound, it kind of felt like it gave it a sickening sense of contentment, as if something enjoyed being trapped in the asylum because it's where it belongs.
Next for the comedy track this month is "Lunch is Soived." We've got some vibraphone, light percussion, an upbeat bass, pizzicato strings and some horns. I got a really nice, relaxing vibe from this one, as if we were having a chilled out picnic. Maybe Mr. Fox catches his marshmallow on fire and in a panic to put it out accidentally catches Mr. Bear on fire and he goes up in flames. Lighthearted antics like that!
Fourth is "Ride to Glory." This is a hybrid orchestral beat. We've got some high-pitched glockenspiel, fast strings, strong brass and an electric drum kit. The wind-like riser sound effect definitely needs a little work, but I thought it was kind of cool how it represented the spiral cyclone effect on the horse and cape in the picture. Almost as if our hero was using a super move to ride faster. Forward to battle!
And lastly we have "Murderer's Lair." This is our true crime track. It's got a gritty synth bass, some fast hi-hats to add to the intensity and horns playing in arcs and short stabs. I was getting a more evil tone from this one. Several of the crime tracks I've written before, I kind of felt were from the perspective of the detective hunting the killer. For me, this one felt more like someone was trapped and at the mercy of the psycho. Remember, it puts the lotion on its skin.
I'll start a private poll for the second tier and higher to cast their vote for the piece they want finished. Voting will end May 27th, so there's plenty of time to decide!
Thank you so much for your patience and continued support!
Best wishes!
