While I was away from this site, I worked hard on my compositional skills. I'd love to hear what you guys think of this. In my mind, I'd imagine this loop playing on an RPG when you're in some cursed town. Y'know, complete with talking skeletons and such.

when i first saw this i thought, "ooh! a thing!" so i clicked it. to me it sounds like a theme for a hat store and you're trying out all kinds of hats. i don't know why. maybe because i have team fortress 2 on the brain?

I think this works better without the drums, honestly.

What I think this could use is some sound design. Hearing constant pulses gets tedious after a while. First thing I suggest is giving it some decay and/or variation. You also forget to cancel your vibratos at the start of new frames.

Compositionally, I think you captured the feel well. Given a bit of work on instruments, you have the potential to be a great composer ^.^

Well I'm glad you clicked it XD. I take it you're quite the hat trader in that game .

Thanks poodlecock! I have no idea why I added the drums. In retrospect, it was a mite stupid of me, I suppose. I'll keep those tips close to heart the next time I make a thing.

Thanks again!

I feel like you really captured what you were going for. I love it.
The only thing i felt was missing was a smooth snare brush kinda thing. So i added it and did a little clean up! Hope you like!

Thanks! :D

The smooth snare brush kinda thing has a nice effect. Helps to cohesively glue the drums to the rest of the ftm, and to increase eeriness. Makes me wanna try all kinds of brush snare thingies for myself in the future! :3

You might have the audio settings output 8-bit samples and not 16-bit. I mistook it for bad mixing a long time ago as well.
