I've been meaning to take a swing at this one for a while now, and I figured Halloween is as good a time as any. I always loved the heavy atmosphere this island had. You knew that something was very wrong with the place the moment you arrived. And then it turns out the island is full of WillO'Wisps and the vengeful spirits if the dead, so maybe not a great place to hang out.

![Ethereal Unease - Austin Wintory Contest 2023
Something a bit different this time. I found out a few days ago that Austin Wintory is running a contest for musicians to make a song based just on twelve notes and I thought it sounded like a fun exercise, regardless of the results. I would have liked to develop this one a bit longer, but unfortunately I only noticed the contest at the beginning of the week and didnt have time to do more.
[technical information]
This song was sequenced in Pro Tools using the following plugins:
- Spectrasonics Omnisphere for the melody and most of the padwork
- Sample Logics Gamelan for the arpeggio
- EastWests Forbidden Planet for additional padwork
- Native Instruments Cloud Supply for additional padwork
- EastWests Hollywood Orchestra for a flute augmenting the longer notes in the padwork, the low cello later in the song, and the distant anvil later in the song
- EastWests Hollywood Choirs for the choir
- Native Instruments Butch Vig Drums for the noise burst percussion and the low drum
- EastWests Spaces II for additional reverb across many of the instruments
- XLN Audios RC-20 for additional processing on the percussion
