Are you Jon Patch like Don Patch?? Also very cute artwork and cool soundscapes. Maybe more melodic focus would listeners in? but in an actual game I think this would work very well!

Thanks for listening and taking the time to leave a comment! I did have the thought that for a contest you might want a little bit more staying power. I did actually compose a few melodies instead of going full generative melody salad (the first track is a good exception - full salad and improvised keyboarding). But as a minimalist I didn't want to overdo it. There is actually a leitmotif on three of the tracks!
For this first entry on the jam I just bet all in on my own generative, improvisative process, and my riff-based ambient style. If you check some random track on my SC chances are it's similar. But it's valid criticism, especially after listening to some of the insane compositions and arrangements on the contest. The closest I got is the final track, you can't run a generative patch on a guitar... But you can noodle on it! And so I did. And add effects and automate those, too.
And yes! right out the Hajike dojo in Edo, I'm ready for some sparking protagonist action! That show is very special to me.
It's also a pun of sorts with the whole modular patching thing, and my name is John but in catalan. Also like, I'm John Patch. like when you say John Twitch, or John America, to personify something as a whole. I'm Patch himself. silly stuff.
Extra bonus points because my fat orange cat is called Garfield.
