Description
hi hello!
In the beginning, based on the name, I wanted to get more coffee and dirty jazz influences, but in the end it turned out to be more ambienty (which suits me :p), and because of the photo, I couldn't resist adding atmospheric samples of the sea and nature, some of which I recorded myself! or made in vital.
so that's how it turned out with the track “one summer night,” which also had an alternative version in a different key :0 it was pure improvisation with couple changes.
in “summer sun,” I really wanted to use the loop I recorded in the first song, on the same piano and add some delicate percussion to give it more indie rock, alternative style
i was also thinking about adding filtered distorted guitar somewheree but kinda shelfed the idea bcs time was running :-:
I see it as an adventure, visual novel type game, with a confused main character who doesn't know which path to follow.
I feel that these songs could maybe go even further.
after all, i am happy with what I've created :3

Really nice, I love the atmosphere you created and the tracks are like part 1 and part 2 of the same song, which is not a critique. The story is barebones (relatable tho :')) and I feel like a little bit more mystery and less chillness would make the tracks more fitting. Then again both songs do feel like they do not know which path to follow (not in a bad way) so actually they may not be as unfitting as I said. Also this comment sound kinda confused and oblivious regarding the path to follow, but yeah I definitely liked your submission overall!
yeah i assume we both dont know which path to follow, haha, thank you! :DD
Vibey use of delay/reverb in "Summer Sun," and I like how you incorporated the first song into it. Neat submission, thanks for sharing!
thank you so much!
Very pretty! This was a really neat take on ambient songs and kind of what I typically enjoy more. I do thing the two songs may have sounded a bit too similar since they're not really existing in my head as two individual tracks, but this is something that a larger OST that isn't made in a week would likely solve. Good job!!
yeah i agree, i may have spend too much time polishing 1st track actually,
and thank you for your kind words!
I like it! Cool jazzy flavor, nice smokey texture. Got two very distinct vibes out of that loop.
thank you!
Immediately reminded me of animal crossing . It has a nice summer feel to it , like the added textures provided by the samples. overall a nice submission great job
thank you so much!
The intimate guitar strangely enough reminded me of low budget educational VHS tapes that you would watch in like Sunday school or classrooms in elementary school.
haha i'll take it as a compliment thanks!
I liked it immediately, that opening is so clean and pleasant.
Very chill track, very enjoyable.
thanks!!:>
Nice soundtrack, I enjoyed the vibe :)
thank you :>
Bruhh I'm literally in bed listening to these on an almost 0 degree night yet you still made me believe this was a summer night. Props for that!
thank you soo much :> sending lots of warmth to you then!
Super chill vibe perfect for a summer night, you captured that ambience well! Well done!
thank you!!
oh how i adore the first track. its really fun to hear. i like how dreamy both of the track were. awesome
thank you c:
I love the beachy and dreamy feeling of these songs, perfect for a summer night on the beach with the setting sun. I love how ambient it is without it getting boring, I do wish there was slightly more movement or that the songs were slightly longer, especially setting sun which I would've loved to hear more of. But my biggest complaint being more means this is some good stuff you put out.
yeahh i'd wish to get more time to polish the second track (maybe after jam i'll cook some:p) but ultimately thanks for your kind words :>
Very dreamy, Love the wonky feeling from the drums, had to loop just to hear it again!
thank you!!<3
(As of writing this it looks like the soundcloud link is private in case that's unintentional)
Immediately getting massive vibes from all the melodic and foley textures in the intro of one summer night. The low pass(?) on the e-piano(?rhodes?) gives it such a great texture and makes it all feel very dreamy. Perfect for the image prompt. Summer Sun continues these vibes so well, I love how chill and catchy the melody is. The introduction of the drums and strings help ground it a bit more while still keeping that dreamy feeling.
Lovely submission, would love to hear extended versions of these haha :)
thank you!! yeah i kinda got the same vibe with summer sun which can go a little bit further but i kinda run out of time ;///
yeah the soundcloud link is now public i forgot to change it haha thank you!!!
