Description
Tried to implement a jazzy and bossa nova style, and I wanted to resemble the highs and lows of gambling by the two different sections as well as some dissonance here and there. (If you are wondering about the screenshot: I used a groovebox (syntakt) to make the song and this is just the stereo recording "mastered".)

I read in the comments that someone mentioned it sounds like an Earthbound track, and now I can’t un-imagine that! The dissonances with the quirky upbeat feel and use of sound effects would fit that game so well! I also agree this would fit well in an alien lounge scene. Maybe this is what casinos in space sound like? I like your addition of two sections with the intention for them to explore different sides of gambling.

Constructive feedback: I like the dissonances that you include, however I think that the bass not moving with the chords above it gives a dissonance that makes the overall sound a little muddy and distorted. I think that if the bass were made to be enharmonic with the chords above it, that would highlight the high and low emotions you intended to convey even better.

Overall, this is a unique track that has a relaxed vibe to it that is unlike most of the other submissions. I like the percussion and the use of sound effects and think that a couple minor tweaks would really elevate this track. Nice work and thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much! to sound like earthbound is a big compliment to me :) I take care in my next submissions and watch more out for the muddy sound

Sounds mysterious :) I'd suggest working a bit more with structure and melody progression to make the track less repetative. But overall the bossa-nova vibes are creative! Keep up the good work!

you are right, I was a bit lazy here. I could change the 2 sections by adding variations of each section. Thank you for your feedback <3

Yeah not really invoking casino/gambling with me, but very "otherwordly" tune :D Sounds like an ost from earthbound

Dunno if this invokes anything casino related in me, but I see it being used as a background music for some funky lounge. Not bad, I like it!
