First off we have "Time's Running Out." We have some off-kilter piano, low punchy bass hits and the ever increasing sound of a clock ticking in the background. This is a tension-building track I imagined could fit in some Noir film or show where our detectives are looking for a kidnapped victim and they're on a very strict timetable.

Our second piece is "Heaven's Dream." It starts with light, fading strings and a harp to put us in that ethereal frame of mind. The flutes and whistles enter to carry our main melody and whisk us away into the sky. Toward the end the harp and lute raise an octave for a nice soft send-off.

The third is an unnamed "Snes Overworld Theme." I was messing around with retro sounds and found the backing strings I used here. I started playing them in that march-like rhythm and the piece pretty much wrote itself after that. The brass takes the lead and some timpani add some adventurous strength as we explore the land.

Fourth up is " Death Ambience." This is a mood setting piece I thought could be used as a dark background track for a cult-like ritual. The deep starting instrument is actually a mangled sitar playing quite lowly and it's the cornerstone for this track. The ghostly sounding instrument that takes the lead is a theremin.
The fifth piece is a middle eastern track called "Across The Vast Sands." I used some middle eastern sounds strings to place us in the midst of a sprawling desert. The cinematic percussion and flute sections add some depth while the bending horn reinforces the fact we're in some Arabic desert.

Next up is "Metal Viking." This is a hybrid of sorts featuring heavy percussion and ripping guitars. I imagined a viking character from old thrust into a sort of steampunk or even modern era. This certainly has some dark undertones, but I felt it was more about strength. This viking isn't messing around and he's certainly not intimidated to be out of his element. He's here to do serious damage.

The seventh is a kind of swing beat hybrid. I used several things in here I haven't really touched before, including a weird vocal, laughing kind of effect. The Sax and Clarinets combine to take the lead here. I'm not entirely too sure what to say about this one as it was very experimental. I'll say what my parents used to say about me when I was born. It just kind of happened. Haha.

The last track is "He Sees, Always." This is purely ambient, background tension stuff. The cello does play a small melody consisting of 3 notes, but it's not really a melodic track. I imagined a stalker or horror villain who keeps popping up everywhere I am. He's watching and waiting. What he wants, I don't know. But it's most certainly sinister.

I'll start a private poll for the second tier and higher to cast your vote for the piece you want finished. Voting will end August 30th, so you have plenty of time to decide! Whichever track wins will be completed by the end of the month.

Thanks so much for your patience and continued support! I hope you've all been well and I hope you enjoy the music!
