I know shortlinks are suspiscious but that's what the contest gave me. If you don't want to risk it (I understand), here's the track on Youtube:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7o13ZKK6Yc

I watched the Youtube version.  Cool stuff.  


I liked the mysterious nature of the tune in the beginning. I was expecting it to resolve into something more up lifiting at some point as is often the case in commercial spot music as the product or service is revealed... I didn't feel that. The ominous synth should have ended when she threw her coat at around 24s into the video.

Instead, the music kinda lost me towards the ending.  starting at 42s the lead synth didn't do it for me. 

In commercial spots, the better and more closely you can sync the music changes to the video changes the better it feels to the observer. 

The music is well done, no nits there. I think it could have been molded to fit the video a bit better. 

Strange name for a clothing line.....

BTW: I wish you all the best in the contest.... I know how hard it is to write and sync something like this.

I like this.  Dark and mysterious go well with the name of the product line.  Best of luck to you.

music fits the ambiance of video nicely. well done. i'm assuming that you didn't create the video & had to synch audio for the contest; right? 

the model seemed confused that the sun was suddenly going to rise in the middle of the night without warning

Thanks for checking out the track guys :) ABeautifulVirus, yes, for the contest they just provided the video as-is and said "replace with your own music, win $1000". Contests like these are a lot of fun to me because it forces you to think outside the box of the music you would normally make when left to your own devices.

well done... the music sounds perfect for this video... this is at least as good as any pro commercial I've seen... but I don't ever watch this sort of thing... so how would I know?
sounds very good to me though...
