I could tell by the first chord that you've played AC, it reminded me of the Island Orientation music. I'm also a big Wild World fan, and I feel that game has infected your brain like it has mine. It's too hard to not take inspiration from things like WW and CF because they really paved the way for NH and any future Animal Crossing games. This was a great entry to listen to, I felt like you really understood some of the chord qualities and their harmonic functions in the way the AC series utilizes them. I can also tell you internalized those things (from playing the game) by the way you've arranged those progressions. Very organic. Truly, a great job!

Track description | Creative process
Hello! This was a lot of fun to make as I love the animal crossing series. I was inspired to combine elements of Animal Crossing New Horizons in the realistic instruments and percussion, with some of the older instruments from previous titles, most notably the guitar in the second half reminiscent of the opening theme from Animal Crossing Wild World. Enjoy!
