Theme
Ice Cream Town
Correlation to theme
Freezy Flavourville and Melty Vanillage are sister cities. Freezy Flavourville ostensibly displays all the ice cream flavors it has. Everything is plethoric. And the icing on the cake is that the weather is mild, yet nothing melts. As for Melty Vanillage, it's a shy little town where it's cold all the time. The people are nice but idle. The only ice cream they can offer is vanilla flavored. And despite the temperature, it melts...

My favorite so far. Great work
From both themes, Flavourville is my favorite! Vanillage is pretty good too, but Flavourville just makes me go "Yay ice cream!".
Amazing work!
Super good stuff! Like said below, the addition of the brass on the second song really gives a 'burlesque' feel to the theme making it even more ice cream. I could imagine a cartoonesque ice cream truck driving around!
And the composition is like a gooood ice cream! Sweet and satisfying 😅
Haha, I'm glad if you found my music sweet as a goooood ice cream ;)
Lost in Melty Vanilla: I was struck by the combination of plucky instruments overlying long held notes. This gave the musical illusion of sprinkles added to a scoop of ice cream.
Wandering in Freezy Flavourville: This track has a really nice lydian sound that adds curiosity to the town and makes you want to explore each and every building and talk to every resident. The combination of the low brassy instruments with the light piano and glockenspiel create aural space that adds to the “frozen” feel while the brassy timbre and guitar addition add a warmth that feels smooth and transforms this track from generic “snow theme” to ice cream village.
Overall stellar work. You chose your modal and harmonic usage well, and was obviously intentional for the unique theme of “ice cream”. Great work and thank you for sharing!
Wow, what feedback!
Thank you so much and I am impressed by your listening skills.
Yes, I composed in lydian again... like last time. I find that lydian fits the mood of a welcoming city.
I swear, for theTMJ#3, I'll use another mode!
You really outdid yourself this time... I really liked your 'Octoburg' last time, but this is something else! Freezy Flavourville really feels like a town, and it is mastered (and thus sounds) great. Lost in Melty Vanillage has that same sound to it, but in nice 3/4 waltz-theme and calmer. You have nice chord progressions, a beautiful melody, great composition... though you are my first submission, I feel winner-potential here! I LOVE IT!
I hadn't composed music since the last TMJ.
I really wanted to get back into creating music.
I'm glad to see some familiar name ☺️
Thank you all you kind words and thank you for thinking that those musics have the potential to win, that's a very nice compliment !
A masterfully done set of tunes! Love the sharp personality contrast between Vanilla and Flavourville! The chords highlight the shy and playful nature of Vanilla and Flavourville like siblings especially!
Thank you 😊
I really appreciate that you liked it !
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ONE!
Getting major Banjo-Kazooie feels from this
I can't hide that Banjo Kazooie has largely inspired my harmonic progression 😅
I am a big fan of Grant Kirkhope and the theme made me want to make a music close to his universe.
