Dear RTers, the truth is that with two small children and a job, making music is damn hard.

Whatev.

In the almost zero free time I have I managed to put together this song for the Halloween challenge that Ryan launched on the RS website. Time was short, I sorted myself out at the last minute, and so the mix is what it is-I didn't have much time to let my ears rest and figure out what to improve.

However, I hope some of you will like it and, as usual, criticism and opinions are very welcome. Although the deadline is practically today and I won't be able to edit the track, your advice is always helpful for me to improve.

Thank you and have a nice day

I don’t even have kids and I barely have time for music. Plus had I known about this Halloween contest I would’ve entered too. I have a few cool Halloween tunes no one’s ever heard so next year for sure. Well it’s a good mix with nice dissonance here and there. Fun vocals and lyrics.

Indeed challenging to find the time & energy for music making with family & other responsibilites; but this blitz-song turned out really good!
Restrictions can sometimes do wonders for creativity & focus.

In case you magically find some more time & energy for another contest, check my signature :-)

Wow, HQ! Fun with a fellow funky synthesist. If you're not winning that I'm sure you'll end up in the top 5 list. The snare has a clippy / rimshotty slightly questionnable feel at times, that's my only constructive criticism. Great vocals and great live feel, stunning synth chords.
