Sorry, no score: I used Reason

I love this program but it does not produce any score :D

Unusual name - only saw one other piece of music called "Spleen", by Philippe Delisle, from his collection "Impressions" It is short but unusual.

Strange title...

Very scary indeed. At one point I half expected it to break out into a Frankenstein Organ theme.

Whadya know, it almost did.

I liked the bells, but hey, I'm a percussionist.

You wrote this with Reason, ya say? I'm gonna have to check that out then...heh...

Kudos to you, christianic. A scary piece that was actually scary.

You can approximate a score if you go to File>Export as Midi in Reason and then import the midi file into whatever program you normally use.

I love this piece. When i closed my eyes, I thought of the room in saw one where the main plot is....well done!:)

Haha!

I'm really sorry for the score... I tried as you said Kyle (thanks for the advice btw), but really, even with hours of works, I couldn't make something good out of this. The piece was not designed to be played, and sincerely, there's not much to analyze. It's in C minor, I often sustain bass notes and play them chromatically, creating a "blur" of low threatening sounds. The melody was mostly improvised....

As for the bells, I'm a bit ashamed to tell you the truth!

I loaded the percussions patch, tried it and recorded! I didn't actually want those bells, but after the recording, I tought they were not so bad, so I kept them...

Anyway, for Reason users, PM me and I'll send it to you!

(May I suggest the forum to allow .rns files? That would be kind ^^)

Nicely done, Christian!

You've created a nice soundscape here which does its job fairly well. The bells were a nice touch but they removed the scariness from it for me; this piece felt tense but not particularly frightening. The drop-off around 1:39 wasn't too well-done; the idea was good but the execution could use refining. The organ is subtle and nice, I'm glad you chose to keep it fairly quiet.

Overall this is a really pretty soundscape and we could use more pieces of the like on this site. In fact, I may even post some to get the ball rolling, so to speak :D

Great work! :)

ever played timesplitters? youre music reminds me so much of that game, especailly the robot factory level lol, very impressive i enjoy purely atmospheric music, and this is very good indeed, sounds like a very professional piece! well done 10/10 (for this genre :P )
