[Aquacea Depth OST // Until I Find Safety]

I love so much how this musical composition really gives me a water vibe, it has liquid notes with the basic leitmotiv repeated as if they were the drops of water coming from the cave of a lost atoll in the middle of Pacific Ocean. I am imagining a bright vivid light blue sky being soared by sea birds while a soft, fresh wind caresses the surface of the sea.

I love that dynamics of the composition starts at slow but peaceful pace and starting from the half part of music the rhythmic cadence creates an extremely catchy tune that combined with the nice loop that is created when music ends, make all of this a hit that sums up the spirit of summer: carefreeness, liberty, relaxation, sunny days, hot temperatures but fresh water to cool you down.

The melody is very sweet and this is emphasizes by the leitmotif that repeats itself and again reminds me of water droplets. I've listened to this piece almost 20 times and I love it so much, I think I will keep it going on while I create my piece for the summer collab as I love drawing while listening to quality music. Keep it up!

Thank you so much for the comments! :D

To be honest, I'm not very into the complicated aspect of music. I tend to make the music and think to myself "does this sound good and would I listen to this on repeat?" and if the answer is yes, then I cook xP

[O MY GOSH BANANA RAT]

First time I comment on a musical piece and I simply love it. I re-listened to it many times. The tunes are really fitting the adorable banana rat character with these sweet notes and retro-like vibes. The electric piano in the first 15 seconds really help the listener to be gently guided to the whole composition as if it were a kind of guide into this magical world.

The progression feels and contributes to the overall narrative of the song which gives a nice harmonic vibe of upbeat and happiness. The melody is pleasant and kept me engaged for the entire song even more since I keep listen to it over and over.

You really did a great job, keep it up!

Tyhond responds:

Aww, thank you! ^-^

I'm still learning! :D
