Just something I doodled that ended up sounding pretty cool to me.
Portal & Ponies, what's not to like? /gaben

Let me know what you think! :)

This is super atmospheric. Somepony commented on your youtube that they were waiting for this song to kick into overdrive, but I think it's even better for just leaving the listener to anticipate. It's like watching a horror movie and being in a constant state of wincing because you're expecting something to jump out and scream, but nothing does. You're just left there to wonder "If there was nothing in my basement... then who unscrewed all of my lightbulbs?~?~?~" which is way scarier than something actually jumping out and going boo IMO.

Haha, that's actually a fantastic piece of advice!

I really enjoyed this, as Cat said; it was very tense, but without actually going anywhere, which makes it even MORE tense...very nice!

Ha, thanks! That is some awesome, creative feedback! Yeah, the structure is loosely based around the Portal 2 soundtrack, which, has that same ominous "when am I going to be killed?!" vibe to it.
Plus, it's more of a cinematic piece compared to my other stuff and given that this was the first time I tried my hand at anything like this, I kinda expected some criticism.

Thanks for the awesome comments everypony!
