Thank you so much for these wonderful compliments.
It's a pretty amazing feeling to read such a detailed description of my own composition. Your analysis is both precise on the arrangement and relevant on the feeling I was trying to convey.
I just re-listened to Dire, Dire Docks by SM64 and it's crazy, I wasn't aware of the inspiration that this music had on mine. Bravo, you were even able to read my intentions that I hadn't seen myself :D
And your description of Octoburg is very evocative and I am very proud to have been able to create such an imagination with my modest creation.
Thanks again for all your kind words!
