Chaos in the Pumpkin Patch

Short song made for the 2023 "Boss Fight on Halloween Night" Spooky Tune Jam. It was a lot of work, and it still could use a lot more! I think I spent around 15 hours of work making this in Ableton over the span of two weeks. I found a couple new instruments, which I'm excited to use in future projects. Also, I had a lot of fun putting in some Halloweeny sounds in, so I hope you like them too! 

Let me know what you think about this song, and after you do that, go on and check out all the cool spooky submissions at the Spooky Tune Jam 2023 submissions page!

All constructive criticism welcome and appreciated.

Below is a screenshot of my ableton tracks if you want to check that out.

I think this turned out better than I was hoping with how busy I've been.

I would say my favorite parts of the song are going to be the instruments I used as well as the more subtle sound effects I paired them with.

One big criticism I would have with my song right now, is that the parts feel a bit sporadic. They don't all naturally flow into eachother. I tried to fix that with fills, but it was really a patchwork job. One thing I noticed is that I really like how the chill break sounds, so it might be worth looking into why I like that part and applying that to the rest of the song without making it all the same. 

Finally, one thing I succeeded in I think was making it sound "chaotic" which was my biggest goal for this. I don't really have much of a music background, so I was glad that I was able to get an effect I wanted despite not being super knowledgable.

Thanks for listening!
