Solstice/Equinox

How many times on this forum have I been told my music sounds like video game music? Well now I've composed a track that is going to go into a video game that people are going to actually play. 

I'm a part of a community of Gamers™ who speedrun Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 for the Nintendo Gamecube and there's a robust level modding community and a rich library of new level packs to play. One of my friends is making a level pack and I wanted to try my chops out on a world theme for his game. He said, "What do you want to write about" and since I kind of made a reputation for myself composing space/science themed music, I wanted to depict an exoplanet. I kind of thought to myself, this piece has to loop, so why don't I just take a theme, reorchestrate it 3 times and create a sense of the passing of seasons? 

Consider this a bit of a maximalist effort - I've got a combination of preset synths, FM synths, processed vintage amateur hammond organ, flute, voice, 8-bit synth. Nothing was really off the table here if I liked how it sounded so the piece has a bit of an epic vibe - and I do my best to keep very effect relevant and cogent - and if you ask me I believe I succeeded.

The game is not really near completion yet, but my own deadline is Jan 31 because I have more music work I want to get up to after this, but if anyone can give me some critique (especially on my use of my DAW, I'm very much relearning techniques as I go along here), or listen for some things I might not have caught since I've been so close to this all month, It'd be greatly appreciated. 

Ummmmm enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks peeps 

Wow this is really wacky and unique!  Did you record your own voice in this?  It sounds a bit out of tune in some spots.  It's very busy and fast but not in a bombastic way.  I like the different variations of the melody and how you orchestrate them differently.  With all the synths and stuff I can definitely see it in the context which you mentioned.  Nice job!

Yes those are my vocals - I have never in my life sang in tune so I had to decide to keep the best I could do! Funny enough I've never been taught to sing even though I've been taught to play the flute and compose music and use a DAW, so I practice on my own but there are still problems. I'm actually flattered you didn't say they were constantly out of tune 😛  

I appreciate the comment, and it means a lot you think I struck a balance with the busy-ness. I was mindful to fill it to the brim but not an inch more. ❤️

I enjoyed listening and I guess it really matches for the purpose you mentioned. The only thing I am "criticizing" are those high sharp beeps they kinda hurt sometimes or are just to powerful and distorted so this kinda bothers me when listening. But aside this, good job and well done!
