ooo I love that arpegio that comes in at around 30s. Such a vibey adventurous drum line as well. Really awesome track.

Hot Spring Town
Correlation to theme
The water is reperesented by the harp, cheesy but effective. The smooth arpegios demonstrating the flow and movement whilst the slow plucking could demonstrate the slow but hefty drips, allowing your reflection as you enter the fabled Springs.
The drums act as drips, or even plumes of hot water coming from geysers, mixed in with the stick percussion shows there is a presence here, this could be people walking, chatting, going about their daily business.
The strings and woodwind bouncing off of and interacting with each other go further to demonstrate the life of the town. The long held out notes, adding to the idea that hot springs are relaxing.
I really enjoyed making this and I hope you enjoy listening to it!

Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Also thank you for the technicality points. I will do so next time :)
Thank you for your kind feedback :)
Well spotted! I automatically default to writing in a Minor Key, I even started out with this in a Major key and it just didn't sound right to me, I snuck in that sneaky C major chord at the end of the harp sequence to vaguely help with some major contrast so it's something!
Thank you for taking the time to listen and feedback, it is really appreciated.
