This is a very fun and unique sound. I’m not sure I’ve heard anything quite like this before and I really enjoyed it! I’m treating creativity with a big emphasis on uniqueness and you’ve earned all 5 stars there from me! Thanks for sharing!

I really like the melody that sometimes plays sixteenth notes, it has a Banjo Kazooie and Rhythm Paradise feel to it.

Hey there! It's been a while, buddy :)

Very interesting song! I see that you really focused on creating an interesting melody in the first half. There's a lot of variation in instruments and melody with a consistent underlying rhythm and bass. I definitely hear the intended 'carnaval' theme in the upbeat nature and four-on-the-floor style consistent bass. Also, I love the buildup towards 1:39 - is that a key change? I can't tell for sure, but I love it if it is! It brings life back into the song for sure.

I went back to hear some of your previous songs, and I still remember loving 'grasslands' from the second Town Music Jam or 'A slime and a star' from the OST Composing Jam 5. You have a creativity that I really enjoy, you're never afraid to do things your way :)

Great to hear some of your music again! I'm curious to hear what you make next week :D

It feels quirky just at the right level and it's fun to listen to, gives of a improvised festival sort of vibe. I liked it!

The carnival vibe is there for sure! I like the variety we get as it goes on, with different rhythms and a nice key change.

I'm going to go way deep into a nitpick in a way that I hope will be useful and practical, but feel free to ignore me if it's not:

The Eb is throwing me every time it shows up in the melody. I think it's that the 7th scale degree is never used harmonically, because the chords are F Major and G Major (neither of which contain a B or Bb).  As a listener I'm hearing it in regular F Lydian, and then when that minor 7th pops up in the melody it feels random. It places the song into the unusual mode of F Lydian Dominant, without first setting up that mode with chords or implied harmonies, so it sounds to me like a mistake. 

The easiest way to smooth that out would be to just avoid Eb/E entirely. (And then correspondingly, when you move up to the key of A, it's the G that sounds off.) If you intended Lydian Dominant mode, the most straightforward setup would be to use an F Dominant chord where you currently use F Major, and then perhaps make some other tweaks to the melody. But I think you made the right choice for a carnival feel by using a pure major chord. 

Whereas if what you wanted was to give a chromatic feel, then perhaps including both the E and Eb when running down from F to D would smooth that out. By also including the E natural, it would make Eb sound like a chromatic addition instead of asking it to represent all 7th scale degree notes. It would just take some finesse to do that in a way that didn't muddy things.

But that's enough of my nitpicks on Eb! It's a fun track with lots of creativity, and it creates a feel-good atmosphere for Festival City.

interesting harmony with the melody

the flute and other melody instruments felt very carnival but I think the really low bass actually detracted from the carnival feeling. Having a more goofy bass with like a tuba I think would have elevated the vibes but that’s just me.

Well done! I really like the groove of this and that you made many different parts that fit really well together.

Sometimes notes in the melody felt a bit "off", but that's just a small detail, overall it's a really cool track and I can definitely imagine it as carnival music in a game^^
