[POWNEY!!!] [(Electro-)House] Pulse - "Twilight's Corruption

[Pulse]

Twilight's a princess now and she seems like she means well and will be a great leader. But as time passes, she becomes power-hungry, resorting to King Sombra's dark magic.
It is only a matter of time before the benevolent princess becomes a destructive tyrant...

This is a bit of an older track. My previous tracks got a lot of comments on the EQ'ing, so that was a main focus when I checked over this one.

So, aside from the relatively dry intro and that snare in the second portion of the track (I swear I spent forever trying to make that sound right), please leave some feedback on the EQ'ing or anything you notice. Anything you got is greatly appreciated!

Hi, glad to see you are taking the time to give so many others feedback!

Personally, I think that house seems like the wrong genre to try to make a dark themed song out of. A song called Twilight's Coruption, to me, would be fairly slow, atmospheric, and eerie. House is dance music, usually kind of up beat, with a very steady tempo, and doesn't seem to have the right rhythm or sonic paradigm to capture the theme you are going for.

That said, I like how your music kind of takes you on a journey that follows the scene you wrote for it: it's fairly up beat at first, has a neat slow down, and build back up into a darker track at 3:13. Very good concept for a song.
The execution could use a little work: drums could be a bit thicker (wrong word?), like maybe add some reverb or delay. The song isn't particularly "interesting" in that you generally dont' have very many things going on at once: one note pattern, and one lead synth, and the drums are the only notable things I could pick out at any given moment. Adding some more instruments that play a slighly different pattern could give it a bit more diversity. I would recommend a pad sound, something very mellow and "wide" that would fill in the gaps between the rest of the sounds, as well as something to give it more bass.

I would be really interested in hearing a similarly themed song with the same structure in a different genre with a slower tempo and darker motifs.

Thank you for your feedback!

I know that the name is kind of misleading, but I thought it'd be a fun challenge to make a dark-themed song that's up beat at the same time.
