Track description | Creative process
I listened to the game's soundtrack for about half an hour, and after thinking long and hard about what to do, I sat at the piano, improvised something, and kept adding and adding. Then I realized that by keeping simplicity as the core of the piece, I would really get closer to the typical sound of Nintendo soundtracks. And there it was, by stripping the project down to its essentials, I managed to achieve what I wanted.

Super on vibe, natural percussion and chords. Fits so well. Definite one of my favorites, amazing work!
This track very quickly screams nintendo music to me. Honestly if someone told me this was an actual ost from the game, I would've believed it. Needless to say, it fits the theme perfectly. Amazing work!
Nice chill vibe, simple instrumentation is the key there, yes. You've created great fitting track)
This is a nice relaxing piece, great work!
Love the rotation effect on those ring notes. This sounds exactly like an AC OST. The shaker was a little loud for me.
I like how the percussion doesn't just follow simple patterning but that there also are some infrequent little percussive features too that are trotted out only once or twice. Good, rich chords on the piano and very disciplined interaction, no timing flaws. Pretty pleased with this one.
Nice, I feel like you've got the Nintendo key elements pointed out, congrats on that. Maybe your percussions are a bit loud, but overall a very nice entry, congrats !
If someone told me this track is in Animal Crossing, or in any other Nintendo games, I would believe it. Great job! You nailed it!
Yep, you got it!
Quite an impressive piece, you did a great job! The melody reminds me of Zelda's Lullaby from tloz.
Thanks! It's exactly the melody I thought of after composing it, Nintendo vibes.
The flanger was a bit strong sometimes, but to be honest this is one of the best submissions of the whole jam. Mix is really good! Great work!
Thank you very much! I didn't check the mix with headphones, if I had, I probably would have noticed it. Great listening skills!
