I really like the composition here, it captures that striving towards freedom feeling well! I like how the main motif walks around various instruments. and I like the bits of piano reversal too! Did the palindrome jam have some influence on your style? and did you take any inspiration from anything while making this?
Very nicely done!
Ha! I knew for sure I recognized you from somewhere, so it was from the palindrome jam! Glad to see that you're still making music!
Thanks for the feedback! I think that the most valuable thing I took from the palindrome jam was how to take on some weird challenges, so it taught me how to streamline my workflow a bit better. As for the inspiration, very early on I kinda heard in my head something akin to those japanese rhythm games songs, where there's orchestral and electronic elements mixed together. The problem is that I never made anything close to that, so in just 48h it was pretty much impossible to study that style and be able to replicate it, so I just ended up making something I was more confortable with, inspired by JRPGs.
Hope to see you in the future!
That's great to hear that the palindrome jam helped with workflow, such a valuable thing that honestly gets underrepresented sometimes, thanks for sharing! And I can see the rhythm game inspirations, it was one of the first things that came to mind listening to this actually! I was particularly reminded of some Rhythm Heaven pieces. I think it's pretty interesting to see how those different genres have influenced the process of what you've made!
And same here, hope to see you in the future as well, keep up the good work!
