Track description | Creative process
I'm quite unfamiliar with composing this style of music, but thankfully I made something I rather enjoy listening to!
I initially wanted to do a sort of bossa nova feel, which I think a achieved a little bit, as well as trying to move away from the original ensemble of the score. My instincts couldn't move me away from that however, so I gave the main melody to the woodwinds at least.
I actually wanted to compose 3 sections for this piece, but time only allowed 2. It ended up being better for me since the rest of the soundtrack are rather short and looped.
I feel the melody could've been better as well personally, but I'm happy with the result.
Hope you enjoy listening to it!

This is such a calm and relaxing piece! You did an excellent job, especially considering it's not your usual style of composition. The rhythm section really stood out to me, it emphasized the "sunny island" theme and gave a lot of personality to the piece.
Love the instrument choice of this track! I know you said you're unfamiliar with this music style, but I think you did pretty well considering how much of a bop this is! Great work :D
love the main melodic line and the brass
Solid entry, nothing to say, it fits the theme well and the mix is solid ! The theme is catchy and I definitely get the AC beach vibes. Congrats !
Solid track, it works fine, it could be easily in the game. I loved the pauses to make it breathe, much like the original soundtrack! Good job!
Ticks all the boxes!
I like this! I enjoyed the playful feel, it reminds me of something from Masakatsu Takagi, which is cool!
Nice vibe! Little bit clashing between instruments from 0:46 to 1:01 and shaker bit to loud, But track is nice, good work!
Really nice upbeat chord progressions with the guitar! My favorite parts are 2:10-ish with how intimiate it feels between the trumpet and guitar, 0:30 too with trumpet and bass! I feels to me like the player has things they're reflecting on, while also having other moments that have more going on, while still feeling pleasant. Honestly, from my listen to the og crossing score, I wasn't getting *as strong* bossa nova vibes as from listening to a lot of works out there. I feel yours has that good mix of other calming sounds too, so definitely a solid approach and entry!!
One of the highlights of the jam for me. Followed you on Soundcloud immediately :) Great job!
