When I started this, the trumpet melody inspired me to take this song in a Latin-inspired direction, which lead me to the castanets. When I added those, it reminded me of crabs clacking their claws together, and since I already had the vibraphone, I decided to roll fully with the underwater theme. I can imagine this playing as battle music in an underwater segment of an RPG. The mix is definitely not perfect, and any tips/criticism would be appreciated.

I'd recognize the ZUNpet anywhere haha (you even follow a lot of the conventions that ZUN follows haha. I'm horrible ._.)
Anyway dude your composition skills are top notch, but your mixing is what you need to work on! If you were to work on it you'd be able to make so much insane stuff 0_0
Take my follow, I wanna see you grow!

Thank you so much, that really means a lot! You are 100% correct mixing is where I really struggle. If you have any tips or advice on how to learn or things I should be implementing, I would really appreciate it. (Also, a new track that leans even more heavily into Touhou influences is on the way!)
