Just through the half-submerged thicket lies a flourishing horizon parted by the swampy river.


I made this over the weekend, just for fun. I hope you enjoy!


Made in FL Studio using 3xOSC and the following instrument packs from FLEX:

  • Saif Sameer Synthwave
  • musicradar drum samples
  • Essential Strings

The bouncy rhythm melody speaks clearly, the synth is sharp, and with a light, almost pitch-bent-like quality. The delay effect incorporated in the melody is fascinating, with varied instrumentation and a strong bass.

The song structure is super good, keeping momentum going. There's a jump-like quality that is really uplifting to listen to. The song feels quite happy, and it is really cool when there are variations kick in and the background of the song is still moving along. That is cool.

@Random-storykeeper which element do you usually begin with when creating a song?

Random-storykeeper responds:

Thank you for your thoughtful comments! Sorry for the delayed response.

For most tracks, I typically begin with the piano - this particular track, for instance, I came up with the chord progression heard at around 1:30 - 1:50, then built the composition around it. For other tracks, I sometimes start within FL or other times, I might have a melody going around in my head that I'll use. Other tracks may factor into the starting process, especially for the tracks I make for a specific game.
