Hello,
I would appreciate any feedback on the below track for the below listing. After work today, I will tweak the EQ, mix, effects etc. but want to make sure this is a good match. Thanks.

NEW LISTING -- DARK, SUSPENSEFUL INSTRUMENTAL CUES are needed for $3,000, NON-Exclusive, Direct-to-Music Supervisor placements in a Horror/Thriller Feature Film with an A-List director and well-known cast. They’re looking for Down-To-Mid-Tempo, atmospheric Piano-based Cues that create a feeling of suspense and intense anticipation. Please listen to the references (provided by the Music Supervisor) for some general stylistic guidance:
“Waiting” by Tomandandy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnXx9PbG1Sk
“We’re Going Home” by Clint Mansell:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lxwaH15-po
“It Catches Up With You” by Trent Reznor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEWIngn2_eM
Please submit minimal, intimate, Piano-based Cues with plenty of depth and atmosphere. Your Cues should be dark, chilling, and textured, adding a level of eeriness and suspense to the scene. The arrangement should be sparse – nothing too large or overly dynamic. Your Cues can have more elements than just piano, but be sure it doesn’t build into something too full or bombastic. The suspense should build, but the horrific “payoff” will actually come from another piece of music. This is the music that happens just before somebody gets murdered in the shower, not the music that plays when the blood and guts part is actually taking place
All submissions should be at least 2 minutes in length with Non-Faded endings and a natural decay/ring out. Do NOT copy or rip off the referenced artists in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a guide for texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed (Great sounding home recordings are fine)

I think the track works as far as the mood goes, but I think they may be looking for a bit of a crescendo towards the end. The listing says "The suspense should build, but the horrific “payoff” will actually come from another piece of music." Good luck with it, though.

Hi,
got a bit of suspense, not sure its a perfect fit. My 2 cents is that there needs to be some sort of "intense anticipation" to the ultimate payoff. The chiming bell adds a dash of ominous vibe, but seems more is needed for this to fit the listing.

The track definitely had the right vibe, but I'm not sure I'd consider it sparse, as the listing requests.
