Think this one's pretty good too - nice and atonal for a horror type thing. Quick suggestion- bearing in mind that you've got the 'Psycho' type strings at the end (which is a nice touch) which in essence are the 'hook' of this piece, and that if you're successful the music will be listed on a page with lots of other stuff, why not start the track with the strings bit then drop them out until the end where they are now? Grab the attention quickly etc, and reel them in...

is naming them after famous horror books/films a good idea?
do others in the production scene do that?
i honestly have no idea, so its a question not a criticism.

Depends. It can go either way.
1. Titles can't be copyrighted so there are no legal issues there.
2. The title will spark recognition. This could get a person to check the track out just out of curiosity alone.
3. From there, depending on what sounds they had in their mind from the trigger, they will either be please or disappointed at the interpretation. It all comes down to expectations.
IOW, I'm taking a chance with this one. If it backfires, oh well. You know what they say. No risk, no reward. Weird Al made a living out of doing spoofs of popular songs.

was thinking along the same lines of do people name them like that for recognition, like you say it gives expectations.
but then i thought, or can it pigeon hole it?
in the end its the music that counts, but its getting them to listen to yours before anyone elses! and i guess the title could go either way, attract or deter
its difficult to know

I'm not too worried about it. If the site accepts the submission, I'm sure there'll be at least one person who will use it for something.vurt wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:37 pmit was these two rather than copyright.wagtunes wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:19 pm

Actually, no, they can't.JJ_Jettflow wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:32 pm
But they can be trademarked so you may want to check on that.
** EDIT ** Okay, clarification here. If I were to write a book or do a movie Pet Cemetary, I couldn't as that title is trademarked for those works. For music, not the case. Because music titles can't be copyrighted or trademarked. In US law, this is a gray area. In either case, I don't think I have to worry about Stephen King coming after me for putting out a 2 minute piece of library music titled Pet Cemetery, not for the $5 in royalties that I might earn from it.
