For SounDevotion Competition Round 55.

The optional theme was video game music, so I went for a 90s RPG.  Compositionally, I’ve done this sort of thing before, so the goal for this song was to refine the sound more.  The main “instruments” here are the VSTs Chip32 and Synth1.

For SounDevotion Competition Round 54

Falling from silver clouds
Carried down by the wind
Tossed around, up again
To the warm ground, descend
Gently, snowflakes will land
To the ground, receives them

The theme was winter or holidays.  In the past, when we’ve done this theme I made a rearrangement of a public domain Christmas hymn, so while I made this to be an original composition, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a lot of time to work on it.  Despite that, I am happy with the result; it was difficult to get the vocal and guitar sounds.
