Description
"A Day on the Island" is a coastal, jazzy kind of album with Latin influences and touches of pop. As for how this game would feel, it would be a relaxing game where you tend to your island in the sun and its residents while experiencing a constant day-night cycle. Each of us came up with a singular leitmotif that we dubbed "The Island Motif" to include all throughout the album. We wrote a list of common instruments and split up from there, each of us assigned different parts of the day and different moods to match. Through experimentation and layering, we each made tracks that we were happy with showing to the world. Logan and Sean used FL Studio, while Phoenix used Waveform.

You've absolutely nailed this!!! Wonderful songs and vibes all the way through. Super clean and lovely, I really can't stop praising this one haha great job!!
Thank you for the compliments!
Overall just a really pleasant listen and perfectly gives off coastal vibes
Thank you!
definitely getting the tropical vibes from these tracks. Guitars sound great. Highlight for me is Lunch Sounds Nice with it's steelpans, whistles, and nice guitars.
Thank you! Lunch Sounds Nice seems to be a favorite.
The tropical vibes are palpable with the instrumentation and style!
Lunch sounds nice and Fresh day were absolutely fantastic! Heavy Stardew valley ginger island vibes which is just perfect!
A Standout entry for sure!
Thank you for the compliments!!
This is so "Story of Seasons: Tropical Island." Great work.
Thanks!
I love the simplicity of this. Lunch Sounds Nice had me dancing in my chair lol. Wonderfully fun soundtrack :)
Thank you for listening!
Sometimes all you need is a ukulele, two maracas, sunshine and an abandoned island.
The latin & happy vibe would rather evoke the first days of summer haha, but I'm all for it.
My favourite track might be "A Day On the Island", I just love the way the steelpans intertwine with the bassline.
Thanks! I'm curious, which is your favorite? The album is titled A Day on the Island :)
My bad, lol, "Lunch Sounds Nice" !
