How did you use the theme/limitations?
First a jazzy, wacky elevator song, then... CRASHING DOWN!
Did you take inspiration from another creation?
Well, yes. "Elevator Music" from Bohoman mostly.

Waaaa! It's my turn to be amazed! It is simply fantastic!
Only 3 instruments and everything is there. The Latin rhythm and the elevator atmosphere with the exposition of the theme. The break with the diminished triplet is great!
The glissando which represents the fall (perfect) and especially the cherry on the cake, the resumption of the theme supported by the descending scale: brilliant!
Bar 14 has a little Disney feel to it especially on the unexpected D major. I love it.
Thanks for playing my challenge of AABA, you can be really proud of your composition.
You know, I am unable to compose a piece like yours, that is both simple (I mean the few instruments) and effective. I am in admiration.
Bravo Nick, you are my champion of this jam 🥇
THANKS A LOT!
I love making songs with few instruments. Mostly because it feels more cohesive to me (and it doesn't clutter the sheet too much!)
Though I am not too fan of my attempt at 'jazzy chords' (except some), I do indeed like the atmosphere it creates. I am glad you like the second section, with the glissando and 'diminished triplet'! I was afraid it came too sudden and too loud, and that the section after was too chaotic. After hearing some comments, it seems not!
I actually wanted to make an AABA composition, but forgot about it. Did I do it? Feels more like an ABAB or AA of sorts, but if you accept it, great! :D
"Bravo Nick, you are my champion of this jam". <3 <3 <3 (you are mine as well!)
Oh, and haha, "I am unable to compose a piece like yours" - nonsense, and you know it ;). But thanks anyway :D
I liked it! It sounds to me like it is for a comedy/silent film short, where they are trying to make an elevator not fall or fix it. I don’t know it this was intended, but it gives me this impression.
Nice!
Haha, it wasn't intended, but that does make it more funny xD. Glad you liked it :)
Really like this track a lot, it gives me sam and max vibes with the fun sounds and the well executed 2nd section with those descending notes leading into it. Nice!
Thank you! I wasn't sure about the transition and 2nd section, as it may have been too chaotic. Glad you like it :D
