Mario.
Great atmospheric piece.
There’s also an interesting rhythmical contrast going on like a heart fluttering.
Vic Thanx for listening and commenting Vic. I'm sure that criminal's heart was fluttering!

The lead synth gives your song a very nice John Carpenter feeling.
Good stuff.
Very good for a horror movie!

This would make a great candidate for film/tv placement via the sync libraries.
It could work for a host of scenes from sci-fi, to fantasy to medieval scenes and more.
Foreboding and spooky it is.
As always your performances on multiple tracks are amazing.

J&B I never thought about a medieval theme before but you are right. This could be used as the armies march toward each other just before the big battle. Thanx for listening and commenting.

The synths give it a very Jean Michel Jarre vibe. Add some theremin and you've got it!  Fun listen.

I like it dark. Especially chocolate.
The darkness is what makes this fascinating to my ears (that and it being a darn good composition)
One of my favorites.
String him up, Hoss!

Mario,
Cool tune. Intro sucks right in. Very neat textures. Yep, as others mentioned has strong Jarre feel (which is a good thing)
You know what I think can be interesting, if you add a second parallel melody of higher pitch woodwind.
Smooth listen. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Mario,
The song is exactly what the title says.
It can be used immediately as a soundtrack for movies with such content.
Great selection of VST instruments.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi, brother !
I´m lucky to have
escaped that march
at least for the moment ? uh !
You are right on the spot
with these notes it really
feels creepy but at the
same time it is mighty sublime !
A masterpiece that could go
very nicely in a film !
Cheers
Dani

Great sounds Mario! Like I have said before, I'm a huge fan of cinematic sound traks. I have written a few in my early days of music making.
Loved it.

Very cool tune Mario. Boy did you get some cool sounds from your keyboard. I dabble with mine in spurts. Very creative. One walk I would not want to take.
