I like your positive interpretation of the prompt! It made for quite a beautiful tune. I didn’t play much FNAF, but I thoroughly enjoyed the piece. Thanks for joining the tunejam!

Methodology
OK so in all honesty I have been making a short little jingle to represent every single FNAF animatronic and releasing them day by day.
From the start I knew that Mr. Hippo's "short" jingle was gonna be a full length song as a joke to reference his insanely long death monologues in ultimate custom night.
When I was making it, I wanted it to feel like a calm memory that's full of emotion and wonder. When I thought of that, I realized it aligned perfectly with the theme of the jam so I built the song off of that.
basically, the gist is that even though the singularity has begun, the robots are basically just like normal people, capable of emotion and feeling just as any human. Taking this as the basis, I made the song super emotional to represent how the robots can now feel the full range of emotions that humans can.
The robots are chill and we are chill with them. very happy and relaxing vibes in general.
As for my composition strategies, there is heavy reverb on basically everything since it is supposed to be emotional.
The trumpet is muted and a tad wavering to represent the robots quivering lip as if it is about to cry from happy memories.
The double bass makes the whole song more emotional.
there is gospel choir to represent how the robots have basically achieved humanity and what is more human than religion.
and finally, the banjo like instrument is actually there for 2 reasons. I think a banjo is a great instrument to represent joy in humans just because of how jovial of an instrument it is. I also want this to represent Mr. Hippo from FNAF and all of the mediocre melody animatronics have that specific instrument so I wanted a link between them since this song is drastically different than the rest of the jingles I made.
Also, Usually I would have this be a youtube video with some nice visuals to go along with it, but since I am also using this as Mr. hippo's jingle and I am releasing those day by day, I can't upload the video yet.
you are all getting an early listen to this song so lucky you!
Hope you like it!
