    Cotton Candy


    Cotton Candy is a playful, eerie fusion of vintage synths, crisp acoustic/hybrid percussion, and whimsical dark-comedy energy.

    Blending the quirky, nostalgic bite of Undertale-style game audio with the lush, campy macabre of Danny Elfman and Wednesday, this cue balances carnival mischief with a touch of spooky suspense. Perfect as a high-energy opener for Halloween projects, indie game levels, dark comedy trailers, and quirky cinematic scenes.

    A solemn retrospective cue in C minor built on strings, French horns, and heavy hits. Slow at 70 bpm with a trailing ending, crafted for scenes that need weight, reflection, and emotional gravity
