This is the result!  I knew I wanted the Shadowy Presence to be the inspiration this time, so I figured something dark and ambient would be good.  I decided to not confine myself to acoustic instruments/medieval sort of vibe that Splinterlands evokes at times, and was going to just use any and every sound if I liked it.  Overall, I think this idea is solid, though it probably should repeat one more time, getting more intense, and there are a lot of little changes to make throughout.  Of course, it also needs some more stuff going on, but for only 20 minutes this isn't bad.  I started with Track 1, which just drones along on a D for the entire song, though the filter and effects below it swell and shift around.</div>

Track 3 provides some actual harmony, which I figured was good to have, but I didn't want it to overpower the droney ambience.  Tracks 4 and 5 both add some little filler parts, with Track 5 pictured above, next to the first paragraph.  I don't like the ascending scale in that section, so that'll be removed; wound up sounding kind of goofy.  Track 6 adds a kick drum.  This was a decision I wasn't sure of, as I liked the instrumental thus far, but I think it will work, though maybe with a different kick that has more mid-range and harder attack.  However, the effect of the noise in Track 2 fading out and suddenly the kick appearing wound up working great, though it was accidental.  Track 7 adds a single noisey, warped D that hits every few measures.  Track 8 was a LABS synth, which I added the Cassette Transporter to so it drops out and back in.  This just plays a D, G, F and a lower Bb, before repeating, which turned out to be really cool, as it sort of moves in and out of the other tracks.  Finally, we have Track 9 which is a bass part.  This too will probably be changed, or at least augmented, but I like the general pattern.</div>
