Track description | Creative process
Since the original game features an infinite variety of musical styles, showcasing the composer’s clear musical culture, I decided to use a refined sound as well, while striving to maintain the simplicity and lightness that I believe should characterize music for a shop in a video game. I found myself incorporating Latin music patterns to convey joy through upbeat rhythms, with a very simple harmonic component that allows the joyful melody to express itself fully and easily engage the listener

Great take on the theme, I really like the chill vibes ! Good job !
I really like it when the triangle comes in! I feel like I enjoy the melody and the percussion, but it feels a little bit empty in the rhythm part in the A section. Perhaps an extra rhythm/ostinato could be added in either percussion or instrument?
Unfortunately, I jumped into the jam half way and also had a lot of busy days lately 😂, the arrangement is quite basic. Yeah maybe a soft clave on woodsticks and a different piano pattern would help 😊
This would keep me in the shop for a long time. Great submission!
