Interesting choice of input method! Writing on a staff really forces you to be deliberate with all your musical choices (as opposed to a loop based approach like in ableton), and it really does translate into a higher quality composition! Great job, and and is it Musescore you're using? I'm surprised how good it sounds!

Description
​This is a music composed for the "Precision OST Jam #2" hosted by JacoRen. As I struggled finding ideas, I aimed for level 3 which are :
- Music for a minigame in a video game ;
- The music must be mischievous (feel free to interpret this however you like…) and energetic ;
- The music must feature a free-reed instrument, such as an accordion or harmonica.
​​​The fictional game is an action-oriented game in pixel art that takes place in an imaginary world, centered around the space theme.
1 : The minigame would be a sort of tower defense where the player has to defend a crystal at the center of the map against incoming enemies.
2 : I wanted to have an upbeat energetic music, especially with the instruments in 8-bit like the piano, the flute and the guitar. There's a melody that repeats itself during the crescendo and the climax part.
3 : The harmonica is on the left ear that adds variations in the third part of the music so each measures have a unique trait.
It was kinda hard to compose for this jam as I had no inspiration (I deleted and started again a music around 5 times...). I'm proud of the bass line, I wanted to improve myself on this as I love to listen the bass lines when I listen to rock or disco music. This music has one thing that I really love to do, it's having a melody that can loop itself and can meddle with other melodies that can loop themselves (like the flute, the piano, the harmonica and the violins playing together, which gives me a non-empty feeling, where everything is filled).
