Bodooooooo how are you?!!!
Thank you for the very very nice comment and detailed feedback it’s very precious to me.
One thing I keep repeating like a broken record though: I haven’t played FF7 ahahaha
But I’m pretty sure I’ve heard like most people the track somewhere and I guess it just lived in my head rent free for years.
I think it’s also a testament at how »simplistic and unrefined » the ideas that come to me are. I’m not a good musician or composer by any means, but I do have 2 decades of listening to video game music pretty much exclusively and I think it will be hard for me to kinda do crazy creative stuff. I’m aware this might become a problem for future jams too, as in running out of naturally occurring ideas in the car in silence like what happened for this jam (and brilliantly recorded as humming on my phone lol), and just finding out FF13 has their combat theme starting pretty much exactly like it to my biggest despair.
I’m trying to overcome the technical hurdles first, but I’m pretty sure most of the big work ahead for me is finding something that might not be unconsciously ripping other stuff existing and finding a voice for myself!
Thanks again for the great feedback, and sorry for the big wall of text xD
