This... was not easy... but it was fun! the fear of the unknown... Hmm. I decided in order to create something worthwile, I should write from my own experience... My own horrifying experience. I was about 7 years old and I lived in a house that had something sinister lurking in it. I walked into the garage (i always hated the garage. It never felt.. right) to do my laundry, but i stopped dead in my tracks. The garage was pitch black and the laundry room, even darker. And in the corner of the laundry room, I saw white... A white, distorted, terrifying face. My body froze and the air around stopped. I was suffocating and whatever that was, didn't like me in there. To this day im unsure what it was, but it fulled my fear of not being alone in the dark. Now to the serious theory stuff. I decided to use the flat fifth in the progressions, deriving from the Locrian scale. When I had played the soundtrack for Wicked, the flat fifth was used to create dissonance and true evil. I backed this up with dramatic strings and a huge horn. The ostinato in the background is simple, but to give the feel of uncertainty, I used it to my advantage, chromatically moving for an eeire touch. At measure 25, there is an audio error that makes it suddenly sound.... out of place. I tried to fix it but ya know... technology is weird. This was fun and honestly amazing. Sorry for being gone. College prep is hard and finding inspiration for writing finally came back. I love yall and missed you!!! -Wren <3 ^W^
