A loop-based piece, I've gotten a lot of requests for a version of this with no percussion or voice - so here you go. Broad and inspiring.<BR>

A militaristic snare drum march begins this piece, reminiscent of Eastern Europe during World War II. The orchestral sounds blend with the sharpness of the brass throughout, but especially after 0:36, when the music is lyrical and melodic, though intensely emotional and suspenseful. At 0:52, the rhythmic march begins again,...

This is the same as the other "Danse Macabre" on this site - but without the solo violin part... in case you're a violinist, and you want to play along at home.

A crazy ride, starting calm and erupting into a frenzy. Calm again at the end. Very Elfman-like.<BR>

This is dark and concerning - like the lights-out bonus level on your hidden object game. Almost exactly like that. As if it was written for the dark bonus level of a hidden object game. Just as if.

The child-like music box is the constant in this piece, but the repetition of the melody shifts from innocence to the music of a character detached from life, on the verge of psychoses or paranoia. The choir in the background lends the music a heavenly, albeit sepulchral feel.

This piece started its life as a random challenge on a show I do on Twitch.tv called "The Wheels of Doom!". The 4 randomized elements that came together here were: Drum Machine, Strings, Xylophone, and Comedic. I think it worked out pretty well!

This piece has a good beat and you can dance to it... assuming you are a dark, lurking horror with a betentacled face and an urge to consume life forces.
