Day: This is a soothing chord progression. It’s cool how you made the rhythmic percussive pattern out of what sounds like a crackling fire noise. The subtle ride cymbal adds just the right amount of brightness to make this a convincing day theme. I also really like the glockenspiel melody and how it is doubled by the woodwind instrument and guitar.
Night: Great job with instrumentation here. I can tell you used similar instruments, but you managed to effectively turn down the brightness and make a track with imagery of a soothing night.
Shop: The turntable crackles are a nice touch that do give it a more indoor classic sound. The crotale and melodica-sounding instrument are probably my favorite instrument combination you’ve used so far. I wonder if using reverb effects to make the space feel “smaller”, especially in the background piano harmony, would help the space feel more intimate like an indoor shop setting.
Overall: I like that you created a loop for your village and simply changed instrumentation and layers to allow for seamless transitions between day and night (and when entering the shop) without the loop stopping and restarting at those transition points. Overall great work and thank you for sharing!
