The Countdown - 5 minute timer music
Added 2021-07-31 20:55:10 +0000 UTC"As you enter the chamber, you feel a click beneath your feet. You look down in time to see the pressure plate sink into the ground. The door swings shut behind you, as does the one ahead. You hear a rumble as the ceiling begins to lower. In horror, you realise that if you do not do something, you will all be crushed. You have five minutes. What do you do?"
Hey folks, this track is something a little different. One of my lovely top tier supporters, Neoxyde, requested a track to be used as a countdown timer in one of his sessions.
I knew I wanted to write something that started quiet and grew into something epic and dramatic, but getting inspiration was hard. Eventually I found myself listening to the Interstellar soundtrack by Hans Zimmer, which handles this kind of thing quite beautifully. I began the track as a pastiche of the track 'Tick Tock' from that soundtrack, then allowed it to develop into its own thing over time.
A big thanks to all those who listened into the live composing streams whilst I was writing this one. It took a while but with your help and support I was able to get this track to a place I'm really happy with. I hope it comes in useful in your games when you want to terrify your players with 5 minutes of panic!
I hope you enjoy listening, and thank you for all of your support in July
