Correlation to theme
You are peacefully taking a walk in Paris when a pigeon wizard challenges you to a duel! No matter, you take it down easily but... wait... why do you hear an electric guitar? And also a choir? And why has the pigeon cloned itself 1000 times??!! I composed this song with Paris in mind as it's a stereotype that Paris is full of pigeons :3 The second part of the song being an orchestra and having an accelerating BPM represents how chaotic and crowded the fight with all its clones would be!

Living in Paris, you've captured the mood of the city perfectly. I'm regularly attacked by hundreds of pigeons, and from now on I'll have your music in my head to give me the courage to defeat these flying vermin!
On a more serious note, even if it's a cliché for Paris, I like the fact that you used the accordion.
The music is great, but from a technical point of view, I feel that the mix lacks a bit of low-end. I wonder if you've used a high-pass filter that's a bit too pronounced.
Haha, love this! I like the gradual build in intensity, especially when the choir comes in! Super unique entry, nice work!
The stereotype of the pigeon is very real, in France some call it "the scourge of cities" and especially in Paris.
The accordion plays a style typical of the musettes of Paris.
This suits very well with pigeons by the thousands!
The mix of instruments is original... as the description! :)
Some really neat ideas here, specially the BPM rise and the different phases structure! The only thing a little bit off I think is the chords choice and the lack of a more present melody.
The picture is a vibe I don't know how to describe
Ah, it's you! I remember you mostly from the lovely 'Town of the enchanted fireflies' of Town Music Jam #2. Nice to see you again :)
Creative for sure! You stand out from the others by choosing to go for a Paris-setting (which you nail!). Also, the pigeon-sounds work nicely without overusing them. Nice incorporation of speedups and chaotic (but not too chaotic) pigeon-sounds. I expected the piece at 0:58 - 1:26 to have a bit more power or "oomph", but other than that, it is a really interesting and cool song! Well done :D
Thank you so much! I actually toyed with that part a bunch, but yeah I agree.
Crushed it! Love the incorporation of the pigeons and the accordion--truly a perfect pairing.
The accordion and 3/4 really drives that whole French thing :) Also nice job incorporating the pigeon sounds. The section starting in the middle is quite epic. Great work!
This song is wonderful! I am truly in an epic boss fight with a pigeon, good work! :D
Thanks!!
