Track description | Creative process
This is a submission for "Alternative Soundtrack - music jam #4" wherein participants are tasked with creating an alternative song to Crypt of the Necrodancer's "Coral Riff" boss battle song.

Since the boss is an octopus, I figured it would be fun to give this track a hint of sea shanty while making sure to include electronic instruments and a deep bass since the original uses a bunch of synths.

DAW: FL Studio

VSTs: Audio Imperia Nucleus, EastWest Hollywood Choir, Steven Slate Drums 5.5, Korg M1, Arturia Pigments, FL's stock bass drum.

Plugins: Waves Magma Tubes Stereo, Waves Magma Channel Strip, Guitar Rig 6, Maximus, Fruity Limiter, Balancer, Spreader, Parametric EQ, and Compressor.

Cool cover art that I definitely relate to your track!

I don't think I've ever heard music with pirate vibes with drums and synths used the way you did. Without a doubt very interesting approach. I really liked it!

AWESOME WORK!!

Sounds good!  The contrast between the bass line, the  kick and the strings sounds me a little out of tempo but maybe could be with that intention. I  really like the transitions and the lead parts. good job!

Nice pirate vibes, good ideas with sounds and use of the synths, this is a cool track, maybe it lacks the punchy kick to stay on the beat, but it's a very good track with many original ideas!

Hell yeah! A sea chanty definitely fits here!!!! It has a nice rythm going, although I sometimes get a little distracted by the triple kick. There is nice variation and tension in the track. Mixing wise I think you overdid the bass a little. Nevertheless an amazing piece!
