This is my entry to this competition: https://www.chipscompo.com/compo/28


The theme is to "try something that you wouldn't normally do". I followed the theme in a number of ways. First, the style is different from my usual music. I worked with variants of the minor scale and chose the time signature of 3/3, both of which I have less experience with. Second, instead of mostly improvising the composition, I put effort into unifying it from beginning to end. Finally, I used significantly more reverb than I normally would. I actually like the result. Some things do sound a little middy, but it enriches the overall atmosphere.


Thanks for listening!

A fine and catchy tune, I like it a lot

Beautiful and indeed catchy. It's good that you tried something unusual; it worked out very well in the end.
I enjoyed this piece very much; it caught me right from the start. Rich atmosphere and awesome composing.
Keep up the good work, and keep trying new things. :)
