Song: The Haunting

“The Haunting” was my first composition after a two-year composing hiatus (2003-2005).  After being away from music for so long, I didn’t want to jump back into composing too quickly so I used this simple piece to help get back into the groove.  It felt great to sit at a piano and plink out such a simple but compelling theme.  The rest of the song just kind of came together, and I’ve really come to love the subtle panning and velocity effects.

Unlike “Halls of Despair” – which is a very in-your-face creepy song – “Haunting” is much more cunning and insidious.  I’d love to someday hear it in the background of a clever RPG horror sequence…
