A very short piece with lots of creepy string effects

[ryst]

Maybe it's too long to be a tv intro theme but that's what it feels like to me. Your feedback is most welcome!

it does seem like the theme, with some opening title credits! If it were actually such, I would perhaps expect a bit more movement overall, as it seems a bit static IMHO, but still sounds good. The string lines largely seemed static, where my mind was at least expecting some motion there.

What did you use for the textured strings?

I like it, though I think as it is it would work better for a scene. For an intro bumper I think it needs an instrument to play a melody or theme of some kind, a hook if you will. A theme that sticks uncomfortably in the listener's memory would work well imo.

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right. I could probably add some string swells for some movement. That might work.

The effects were all mainly from Chris Hein Solo Strings. Contrabass and Cello.

Yeah, I can agree with you there. I'm thinking some sort of swell thing or perhaps a melody as you mentioned. Thanks!
