Description
YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE SUBMISSION HERE:
https://soundcloud.com/poard/sets/compilation-of-moments-throughout-the-night

This is a short 6-track submission! There's a variety of genres here, some tracks are jazzy, funky, and experimental, while others are calm and more bossa-nova-like. I used FL Studio to create all of these, and I used a couple soundfonts too, including a few instruments from Mother and Persona.

Like the title of the submission suggests, I was imagining that each track represents a moment during the night! Old Garage shows the protagonist starting their car (you can hear sputtering at the beginning), 12 Square Foot Sleep Deprivation Chamber represents the struggle of trying to stay up despite the late hours, Twilight represents the moment the sky gets brighter just before the sun rises, yadda yadda.

Message from the artist
i made the cover image but it's literally a placeholder haha uh it's not related to the actual submission so i'll make a better cover image later! i just ran out of time and needed something

Theme

One Summer Night

How does it fit the theme?
As I mentioned before, I imagined the theme not as one single scene, but as things happening throughout the entire night. I think the theme "One Summer Night" can hold a lot of different moods, and I kinda opted to show the excitement of heading out, the hazy struggle of staying awake, stuff like that! Each track in my submission represents a different “moment” in that journey, so that when played together, they kinda form a sort of diary of a summer night from beginning to end.

this is the most unique submission i've heard so far!! your style of music scratches such a weird part of my brain that i just can't describe

i loved every single one of these tracks!!! but, my absolute favorites are Spufsank, 12 Square Foot Sleep Deprivation Chamber, and Twilight

Submitted

Good golly I'm in love with the bass.

All of these tracks are popping with personality. Was grooving from start to finish. Top tier submission for sure!

Submitted

MMMAAAAANNNN I feel that bubblegum octopus from Spufsank your style has so much personality. I actually had soundcloud send me to this song after what I thought was my "Last submission of the day" and I did a 180 real quick. Holy ear crack.

You have my vote sir

This submission was just so funky and, as another listener put it, "boingy." Every track is boppin, but Spufsank really shines bright here. But you proved you still had some surprises left at the end of the OST in "Twilight," which says "I'm done being funky, let me throw some emotions at you. I'm still gonna vibe, though. 😎"

Great work on this one!

Submitted

Awesome submission! I really liked the wind instrument in Twilight! Nice job :)

Submitted

Woooow! So inspiring to see what you came up with. I'm really glad I found this! Really cool sounds used and overall vibe!!!

Submitted

Twilight isn't a poard song. Spufsank is a real poard song. The complex rhythms and funky sounds are what I remember well from Tankman in the crunchtime jam. 

Twilight was still really good though.

Submitted

They're all awesome, but I'm sorry I have to admit that Spufsank is my favorite, it's a freaking bop... I am now legit listening to it on loop help

Also the concept for the soundtrack is legit awesome! I would be really curious to see what game would come out of this, like, the pitch is simple, and works really well to sell the idea and feelings

Yeah, loved it!

Thank you so much xD

Holy this is actually the greatest mood comment here

Absolutely fire, the boingy sounds in all of them go stupid hard, and i love how weird sounding the first one is

Submitted

Far too often, a good boingy sound goes underappreciated. Not on your watch!

Submitted

Super funky, great musicality throughout! Not much else I have to say, could see this from a retro game!

Maaan I love your universe so much !! Each time 😅

It reminds me of some old goofy games, super unique. Loved to hear new tracks from you.

Ps : as an example, I loved the work of a certain Eric Nofsinger on Lego Racers 1. It's wild and you have your own world too I love it :p
