Love those acoustic guitars and keys! the intro was so beautifully made!
Thank you! Very much appreciated!
Well written and produced, too gloomy for a sunny beach theme but it was a very good listen! I think that for other parts of the game it could work, the percussions especially give me the idea of Animal Crossing.
Excellent notes...thank you! I've probably exposed myself for not having played the game...haha!
Song that plays if you can date the animal crossing villagers. This is a lovely cute track, giving that mysterious, romantic atmosphere while staying true to the game. Great work!
Thank you!!!
Excellent work. Specially liked the woodwinds lines entering at 0:45 and guitar melody arpeggios comeback at 1:13. Hotel California meets "mysterious western movie" vibes. One does not get tired of listening to the relaxed meandering and laid back guitar lead.
Thank you! I'm really appreciative of the detail in your feedback! It makes me feel like the things I was aiming for worked. :)
A nice reimagining of a beach theme :) good work!
Thanks so much!
Wonderfully peaceful and romantic writing! Honestly I think something not too far could really work as a night theme, or relaxing later in the day.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
It's a bit too nostalgic-feeling for Animal Crossing, but as a stand-alone piece the composition is intriguing, with unusual harmonic movements.
Very valid feedback! I'll admit AC is not my usual gaming space which gives me lots to learn! :)
Really like the jazzy latin approach! It really fits the vibe of the game and the composition is really playfull. Very well done!
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!
Same as Cloud, it's a bit out of place, but i can't deny how good the writing is. it's also amazingly mixed, superb job!
Thanks so much! Getting to that space with no tension is something I need to work on. Definitely worth noting!
Good composition. Volume balance need bit more work. Even the atmosphere is not for fun chill game, overall composition is still good!
Thank you for the feedback! I'll take the volume balancing note into consideration. :)
Loving what you did here, nice arrangement and instrumentation, I love how the guitar answers the woodwinds when it comes back in melodically. It sounds balanced and well mixed as well, so good job there.
The only thing I'd say is that it creates kind of either a mysterious, a romantic, a tension, a "relaxed yet smtg is happening" kind of vibe, and I think it would feel a bit out of place in context (the sunny beach area of AC, where you just start gathering stuff and making your island pretty). But despite that, it's a solid composition, congrats on the writing and the mixing !
Thanks so much! Also great feedback. I'll keep this in mind! (full disclosure, I've never played the game so I'm probably lacking in 1st hand context...haha)
