"Midnight Storm" Halloween Special

Hey everyone, I'm back with my 2014 Halloween Special composition called "Midnight Storm" Enjoy!

The eerie strings, the dark organ, and the thunderous... well, thunder. For some reason, I knew for this Halloween I wanted to implement thunder into my composition. But I ran into some setbacks. I couldn't find a good enough set of thunder samples that I actually liked, and after a while of searching, I gave up and said, you know what? Forget it.

So I was going to do some other kind of music, when I was messing around with the switches and knobs on my screen, and happen to hear a glimpse of the thunder I had wanted. I went back and focused, did some fine tuning and adjustments, and before I knew it, I had created a thunder sound similar to classic horror movie sound effect thunder.

And thus, "Midnight Storm" was made.

What do you all think of it? I must say I am really proud for making a sound rig for thunder. That and one of the choirs you've heard in previous tracks are the only sound rigs I've made myself. I plan on making more when I require specific sounds such as those.

Anyway, there you have it! Lend me your heads- er... ears. :P

(Also, if anyone is wondering, the picture I used for the cover art was a horizontal lightning strike going over the garage in my backyard.)

Very nice. The synthetized thunder is really good.

 

It looks like this year no one wants to do an "usual" Halloween music. :P
