I particularly like the second part (from 0'41"). By the way, you've taken the liberty of making a rather abrupt change at this point, which nevertheless comes across superbly. It sounds very natural to the ear. It's great because they're very different.

Cats through chiptune space
Description
I put down an initial draft for the first half of this pretty fast, then didn't have any ideas for it until the last few days.
I ended up extending it, then writing this jubilant final section with a key change I thought was awesome, at first, then realized I couldn't integrate it into the song at all. So I spent the last hour before the jam closed trying to round out the song without overdoing it.
Having a drum loop as flexible as the amen break really helped here, I used a few of the iterations of it from the linked download. Meowsynth worked well as a lead, but I struggled to integrate the pipe drops a lot. Curious to hear what I think of this song a few days from now with fresh ears... Let me know what you all think
Plugins used
Apart from Meowsynth I used the FL synth Kepler for the bass and arp
