Paranoia (Composition WIP)

Heya guys. I began working on a few new pieces to be used in Chapter V of me game, and the style of this one is quite different from my usual pieces. This is my first attempt at atonal music; music without a set key.

It's the kind of creepy background music, almost horror-ish. I figured I can replace a few midis such as the over-used Illusion and Suspicion with it, for those that played the game before. :>

I'm not too familiar about this type of music at all, so I am very interested in knowing how it sounds to others for the atmosphere. This is just the work-in-progress by the way, and not all parts in its length are yet very complete. But the idea's there.

Thanks for your time in advance! :)

i think it's pretty good for 35 secs. I wouldn't say it's horror-ish but definetely quite creepy/suspenseful!
I have two questions (since i sometimes also try to compose music now and again);
-What program are you using?
-What instrument is that bell/clock in the background?
 
Thanks for the feedback! The program's mentioned at the end of the post, composed in Finale 2006 with GPO soundfont. :)

And that bell is tubular bell.
 

Thank you for viewing
