Just wanted to let you know Ail that we used this song in my friends Ravenloft game this past Sunday. Very very fitting and worked quite well.

"Mystery Forest" by Bjorne Lynne is a good creepy bit of music.

Joel, great addition to the Mausoleum. Hope it bears some more bitter fruit.
Ali, I was hooked in the low threat of the opening minute. The later raising of tone to pathos reminded me of Midnight Syndicates Vampire CD. Personally, I liked the more sparse opening with the bass and cello sounds.
Somewhere around minute nine the atmospere got sad and whistful to me. That, and the opening were slow and more minimal, and that caught my interest best. Kudos, may you find your dark muse again.

Hi Lazybones,

I was not expecting an opinion this much after the initial post, so I'm very happy and surprised with your post. Thank you all you say. This was a half-impromptu so if I reworked it I might change one thing or two, but overall I'm very happy with how it turned out. Unfortunately, I never did anything else comparable again.
My goal was specifically to do something that would fit Ravenloft. I was looking for sombre and scary, but I've always had more of a penchant for the melancholic, so that came out in the end as the general tone.
As for Midnight Syndicate, I don't know them yet. I have to look into them, for sure :)

For creepy music I don't think you can find anything creepier than avant-garde twelve tone classical music. Put on the opera Lulu by Alban Berg or Wozzek by Webern. Le Merle Noir by Messiaen is very eerie as well.
