    Are we not going to talk about how someone at Nintendo figured that the perfect soundtrack for a video game about a small town civilization ruled by a society of talking animals is composed of minimal downtempo latin jazz fusion?
    ...and they were right?!

      Jazz love is universal, atleast where people play Animal Crossing. Even if people don't know it, they probably like good jazz :). Especially when it's relaxing and even happy sounding.

    the reason the accordion swells in volume is because in order to play it, the bellows fill with (and expel) air when the two halves are pulled apart or pressed together, similar to bowing a string instrument back and forth. the AC composers emulated this function of the accordion to a tee, even with the perfect cheesy soundfont, probably by using a midi keyboard’s mod wheel!

      Silence is definitely a huge part of Animal Crossing music. A few moments of silence can help the music sink in and give you a moment of quiet to just take everything in.

    damn this reminds me of undertale. and that just makes me sad (not in a way of something being bad but in a "feels" way). great video!

    I used to use Sforzando. And I used to play Animal Crossing: Wild World. I am your target audience for this video :) Your fine film here has me twitching - I have an overwhelming need now to dig out my Nintendo DS and dig my poor, neglected village out if the weeds that have no doubt overrun my poor town! Also, Sforzando looks much cooler now! I really need to try it again.
