I am extremely grateful for your response - thank you for taking the time to truly listen to my compositions. (Also everyone else is also very appreciative of your efforts as well!) I was definitely going for an arid vibe to describe fossils and ruins and the sitar at the beginning set the stage for that well. I also used an instrument called Santoor which I love the sound of.
The twilight theme came out sounding soothing so I thought it would be a fun idea to mash up the dinosaur and hot springs theme a little and incorporate it into my town's lore. It may have cost some points in theme correlation, but I was happy to gain it in creativity!
My last song was written really fast and all I had planned before I started writing was that I wanted heavy downbeats to mimic stomping dinosaurs. :) It turned out to have a good groove which was fun to write.
Haha, I appreciate the jokes, but please don't ban me! This is a really fun community to make music alongside! Composition is still a hobby for me, but I've considered trying to offer freelance custom music. Still trying to figure out the details of how to go about doing that though. I want to mame sure that music making never feels like a chore though and is always fun!
This response turned out to be longer than I expected! Thanks again for your comments and I look forward to hearing your music again in the next jam!
