Description
I chose to use the "inside my world" prompt as inspiration for my soundtrack. I made a pixel art cover of a castle in the sky, as I wanted to show what it would be like to explore this world. This was where most of my ideas came from as I have always wanted to combine my art with my music.
I wanted to replicate a similar style to Toby Fox's Deltarune with my music, through use of instrumentation and melodic techniques. I used Logic Pro as my DAW for the project.
My process is quite random as I am a drummer and do not have a great understanding of music theory. Most of what I know comes from trial and error and what sounds right to me.

The cover art is as lovely as the music! They complement each other very well and together they are capable of portraying the world you propose to us.
WONDERFUL!!
Memories is a really nice piano-centric piece. Nice choice of progression and the accompaniment does a great job of bolstering it. As a whole this track reminds me of something I might hear in an early PSX title; not just in the arrangement but the voicings used also. Makes for a nice pensive but forward-moving piece as a whole.
A Familiar Village hones into similar vibes. Loving the choice to have an acoustic guitar take the lead here, and the melodies developing from the intro motif progression is cool. The percussion coming in around a third of the way through does a nice job of livening things up and providing a central heartbeat to the arrangement. I like how you've got multiple layers of instruments taking lead tones here, especially so when you bring the square wave and strip back the percussion a little to give it some more room to breathe. Nice orchestration present throughout this one, too.
All in all, great work. Solid pair of tracks, each dipping into a different vibe but managing to remain congruent. I'd love to hear more in this style. Kudos on the production, too. Best of luck. :)
Thank you for the comments, it is really helpful to have such in-depth feedback. I also wish you the best of luck and thank you for enjoying my music! :D

Memories - Heh, I like how this piano sounds in different ears (I love when the composer plays with my ears). Gradually, the appearance of new musical instruments is beneficial and leads well to the "culmination" of the composition. Oh, right... It sounds cute :)
A Familiar Village - HEY! THAT SOUNDS EVEN CUTER!
P.S. Beautiful cover art!
Thank you so much for the comments!! It means a lot, also i’m glad you like my art :D
Although the sound quality could be improved, the tracks are really beautiful!
It Sounds good, especially the second Track!
love it! got a huge studio ghibli vibe from the first track. each progression is nice. mixing could be a little better, but that’s just being nitpicky at this point.
one issue I had with this one though is the panning in the first track. it’s a little akward. otherwise, nice work! I like it a lot
The melodies and progressions are very nostalgic! I like how you kept it mostly simple which caused them to remind me of some of Toby Fox's tracks where he wanted to make the melody playable by a kid using just one hand.
I'm not sure if I like or dislike the panning motion with the starting track, but it makes for an intriguing sound. I enjoyed the second track much more than the first, as the guitar kept the piece going. Nice job!
I definitely heard the undertale inspiration. good job!
thank you for these beautiful and kind melodies
Thank you!
I liked A Familiar Village quite a bit! I can definitely hear the Toby Fox influence in there, and I think the melody is quite nice. I do think the panning on the lead piano melody of Memories is kind of strange and a smidge distracting, but overall I enjoyed these tracks and I think you've done a good job!
Also I like the pixel art you did a lot!
Thank you!! Yeah, that piano had a really nice sound but I couldn't figure a way to reduce the panning unfortunately.
Really nice work! I love the compositional structure of the second track especially - the wavy synth is just sublime, and it's so charming and upbeat! Thank you for your submission!
Thank you so much for your comments!
Lovely piano composition, and even lovelier melodies and chords. Great job!
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my music!
pretty music! Definitely sounds like some anime music. I would recommend trying to vary the velocity of the notes do they aren't all the same intensity. Because of this the song felt a lot more flat that it could have, especially with some of your pretty chord progressions. Altogether I think you did a great job with a simple idea, and expanded on it very well.
Thank you for the advice, I'll make sure to explore this from now on!
Absolutely beautiful melodies. They are the kind that bring out feelings of nostalgia, like I've heard them before, but not in this life. Love it :)
Thank you for the comments!
