Something is terribly wrong…

A mix with tracks by Tausdei and Tsorthan Grove. Easily loopable for an endless nightmare.

I decided to have a little extra fun and created an atmospheric remix of the track by adding some spine-chilling sound effects:

 

  • Heartbeat: Adds a subtle, eerie pulse to the atmosphere.

  • Breathing and Screams: Intensify the unsettling mood with heavy breaths and distant screams.

  • Crickets and Footsteps: Layered sounds of crickets chirping and footsteps provide an unsettling outdoor ambiance.

  • Gate Opening: A metal gate creaks open, adding a sense of foreboding as the scene unfolds.

 

I'm not sure if I went too far with this, or how many listeners this would resonate with, as some of the sounds—like the gate, crickets, and footsteps—might be more suited to very specific environments. But I wanted to push the vibe and see how far I could take it!

If anyone needs custom sound settings or specific adjustments, feel free to reach out to me. I'd be happy to help!
