Track description | Creative process
I wrote the piece over the course of the last 4 days. At first I worked on the piano, listening to various soundtracks including of course New Horizons, but also Napple Tale and Stardew Valley. I just barely managed to squeeze the ending under 3 minutes, hope you enjoy.

I really liked the direction the harmony took in certain places, it reminded me of something (a soundtrack from a game or movie) and I just can't put my finger on it. Also, you have a great sense of melodic phrasing! Really enjoyed listening to the piece.

Interesting take winds/piano! The anime-ish feel at times like 0:40 is refreshing. I do feel small percussion like shakers might add extra variety and fit the vibe even closer, but impessed it's not too far off for me despite being a different take.

I like the idyllic nature of your piece very much. The lack of a rhythmic section altogether (not even a bass, if I am not mistaken) creates an airy feeling which feels perfect for the game, while being a departure from the original OST. Good work!

Nice composition and melodies, cute track) Maybe rise of a piano volume between parts is a bit steep couple times. Overall great submission!

Very beautifully made track. This piece is very well made!

Beautiful trio between the clarinet, flute, and piano and a very good composition. However, I found the volume to be a bit too low, had to crank up the speakers on my end to hear it over my air conditioner.

Nice calm track, very sweet, but being so low on volume doesn't make it justice! I appreciate the different take on the soundtrack, it's a very well crafted track!

I love it, I hear a classical chamber music approch, nice theme, nice development and conterpoint. An easy improvment for me would be to give a bit more spotlight (like a melodic line from time to time) and variety in the accompaniement /patterns.

Well crafted but pretty out of the mood.

A really great composition, perhaps much more elaborated than one would expect for this OST, but it's very nice. Good job!

The writing was great, it's such a shame that the overall volume is so low though. But I can definitely hear the effort here. Lovely track that would definitely need some more love on the mix side!
