Very glad this entry made it in nub! the copeland love is excellent

i totally feel the stewart copeland from this, the modal groove is so good

nice entry! i can't figure out what this reminds me of. maybe it's stewart copeland but it's hard to be sure because i don't know who that is

edit: i didn't notice any sleigh bell or pizzicato though

205558

there is a single sleigh bell jingle for the transition between each bit, usually! first one is at :03

I actually started with pizz strings for the 'doot doot' vocals, but once I found the doots I knew I had to switch them out.

im a big fan of the spyro games so this is a real nice entry. feels like a spyro 2 track crossbred with mario sunshine

@dobra yeah I'm pretty sure that was the exact cosmic channel I was tuned into. Maybe just a little bit of Wise / Donkey Kong Country snuck in there as well.

Nice and chill, very peaceful!

the cuica survived til the end! the only critical note i have is that the ride bell (i think that's what it is?) overpowers everything else while it's going, like at 1:44. otherwise this rules and is super smooth, love it

yeah I think with another pass to make it just a little more coherent, and with some attention to dynamics + mixing, this could grow up to be something even better. It's on my short list of bits to revisit next year!
