Free Music Poll #58 - May 2022
Hello Everyone,
Today May's Poll is ready to go with 5 new samples. If you haven't gotten your vote in for April's, remember there are still a couple days to do that. It ends on Friday at Midnight! Now on to the new tracks!
The first is "Crystallized World." It's a dark, magical piece with echoing piano, harp, strings and some woodwind trills. I imagined being in a disjointed world overrun with weird, magical land formations and creatures. A place where time seems to have next to no meaning or impact. A world lost in some enchanted rift.
The second is our True Crime sample named "Making the Break." This one is about time running out as our detectives are right on top of the criminal, and it's literally a chase. We have dark strings, sinister synth plucks, fast hi-hats to add to the frantic chase and a steady kick drum, almost mirroring an accelerated heart beat.
Then at a break-neck cut, we transition to "You Think This is Funny?" This is our lighthearted, comedy sample. It's a fairly simple little tune with a chilled out vibraphone, a plucky bass and pizzicato strings. We also have some trumpets throwing in some crescendos and tuba providing a march-like counter line with the bass. The brass kind of give us a little touch of obnoxious to add to the light, comedic feeling.
The fourth is our horror track. "Haunted Bunker" is very atmospheric and layered with evolving soundscape elements and echoing sound effects. We start a little quietly, but about halfway through our horns enter with some quick bursts. We have a fast string run that's here and gone before you know it. And the most melodic part is that haunted, plucky thing that fades in and out of its ascending/descending pattern.
Lastly, we have "The Dark One." This is like a final battle, death march. Our heroes are at the end of the film, and they're faced with the most powerful villain they've ever encountered. We have powerful, low brass screaming at us. We have timpani providing our war percussion. Several horns and trumpets provide the strong melody and it's backed by the choirs, which give us that end battle, Armageddon kind of feeling.
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 June 8th, so there's plenty of time to decide!
Thank you so much for your patience and continued support! Best wishes!
