Theme

Festival City (Bird team)

Correlation to theme
For this song my vision was a futuristic city with continuous parties and festivals. The citizens just know how to have fun and the city attracts the most popular musicians of the country. I made my track as groovey and party-like as possible to fit this image :)

I love the groove! Very well-made beat with a nice and smooth mix. Your bassline is a highlight for me! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like a techno band giving a town-wide concert, I love it. I also like the firework and crowd sounds at the end

Ooh nice track, quite groovy! Although it could use more layers of instrumentation and a more varied chord progression in the first part in my opinion. But the song still delivers so good job!

Thank you, you’re definitely right^^

I think in this track you can kinda tell that I wasn’t really sure how to start or what to do at the start (almost gave up😅) but then kinda got more inspired over time xDD

Sounds like I'm waiting in line outside of a prestigious festival city waiting to get admitted in. I love it!

The solo is fantastic. Did you play it (and quantize it) or did you draw it on the piano roll?

I found myself bobbing my head and tapping my foot, it's so catchy.

Tip: at the end of the solo, you could remove the soft kick for a few bars for an even more powerful boost when the heavy kick returns.

Thank youuuu^^
I drew the solo on the piano roll, as I don’t have a midi keyboard and can‘t play my laptop keyboard well enough😅

That tip makes so much sense, I’ll definitely try it out, thank you!

This is a fun track, I could definitely groove to this on loop forever while walking around Festival City in a game. The composition for the different instruments fit well to support each other, and I liked the solo in the middle. Lots of great simple rhythms in the bass line and melody that play well off the straight beat. 

I especially liked how at the end of the solo section the bass line re-introduces itself with a little bit of teasing before coming back at full force. It makes it feel really good when it does.

Thank you so much^-^
