Goofy and spooky, it could fit very well in an adventure Mario game, maybe some instruments were not loud enough, but the track was very fun, well done!

Track description | Creative process
The idea was to create a shaddy and dark ambiance, while remaining on the "cartoonish" side.
As for the creative process, I have a fairly straightfoward method : once I found a melody, I harmonize it on the piano, and from here I wrote a piano sketch, adding some rythmic ideas and pattern, and if it fits, some counterpoint here and there. Then, orchestrate it on my DAW, and Voilà !
I had a lot of trouble giving this piece a little swing feeling, and altought the result is "ok", I could improve a lot on that rythmic part, still learning to use my DAW and the tools correctly...
Thanks a lot for listenning, any feedback is very appreciated, and I hope you've had as much fun listenning to it as I had making it :D
(To create this track, I used the IK Philarmonik Orchestra VST and Ableton. My electronic piano is Korg G1 Air)
