The killer part of this is the harmonic section. I love that oscillating motion. Really sets the mood! 👌 Reminds me of Koji Kondo in Yoshi’s Island or Twilight Princess. Well done!
This is so serene, you're amazing at turning themes into a melody! When or where do you most often have melodies come to you? Or do you start with an idea first and build from there?
thank you, i'm glad you like the melodies! i usually come up with ideas while doodling on the piano, since i can consider the melody and chords at the same time, which is easier/more natural for me. sometimes i'll piano sketch more or less an entire song before i start writing anything down, but other times i'll just sketch small idea fragments as a starting point, and then let myself be guided by how the arrangement unfolds. (this song fell more into the second category, although it strayed a bit from my usual process of writing the melody and chords at once.. my starting idea was the chords for the opening few measures and the part @ ~0:40 - 0:48, and i came up with the melody sometime afterwards.)
holy fucking shit this genuinely sounds so peaceful and beautiful......... i could definitely see this being heard in a cute lil town in some rpg or something........ i love this so much

it's always a highlight of my day when you post a new song
sounds amazing and atmospheric. the visualizer is incredibly pleasant too
thank you, i was definitely happy with how the visualizer turned out in this one! (also, love your music btw)
This is super lovely man! Good stuff.
I love how the harp accompanies key changes and that music box gives me flashbacks to your other song "Puzzling Caverns" :) Great job!

I would love a breakdown of the writing process too!

I would walk through an old town at night and watch the brick walls' and lanterns' reflect in the water of the softly trickling river to this music.
