Psionic - dissonant unsettling suspense
Added 2025-04-11 19:01:58 +0000 UTC"There are no voices, only impulses. Pressure behind the eyes. Thoughts that aren’t yours slither through your mind like oil through cloth. The air shimmers, but there’s no heat. Something is watching. Something inside."
Hey folks!
Today’s track dives deep into the psychic and the surreal, with a track designed to evoke the creeping dread of psionic interference, mental domination, and otherworldly thought. I had illithid lairs and mind-affecting magic in mind while writing this one. The track leans on warped distorted strings, dissonant synths, and deep resonant drums with some subtle glitch / time stretching effects applied to the entire track to capture that sense of unravelling perception.

Alternate Track
Bard tier supporters have access to one alternate version:
Delicate Strings: A lighter, more traditional fantasy arrangement of the track, featuring fragile string motifs and softened textures. I liked this one enough that I almost made it the main track!
30 second preview of this version is attached to this post!
Thanks!
