Nice piece, almost a bit poetic sounding. Liked reading your description and the drawing (and time lapse) goes really well together!

Title
Museful Sonata
Description
I definitely underestimated this challenge, but I think that through perseverance and "killing my darlings" I was able to cut down to a song that I like a lot. It's a handful of melodies that develop as the song continues, I tried utilizing feedback from previous entries to make it sound like this is a live recording of a piano (granted with a second player or a third hand :D ).
The theme of "following the muse" was strong with this one, I really was relying on my ear and intuition while creating this, everything from the progressions and melodies, to structure (this changed WAY more times than I expected) until it felt right.
I wasn't very inspired by the art this time so my wife (LilyFox [we are Fox and Lion Games]) made this piece and we used the time lapse synced to the music for the video - I am so happy with the way it turned out :)
I'd also like to say thank you to Nitro for doing this jam series, I feel like my music has vastly improved since I've started them and thanks for the wonderful feedback from everyone - it has helped me increase my song quality so much. Thank you all!
