21 Days of VGM

I'm joining in VGM Academy's 21 day video game music challenge! Using different prompts, the purpose is to compose 2-4 bars of music (or more) every day for 21 days. No exceptions. This is my entry for day one!

Prompts used: A Minor Challenge, Music Box

Little One's Lullaby

Day 2 of the 21 Day Video Game Music Challenge. I imagine adventuring at night under the stars.

Prompts used: None

Under The Stars

Day 3 of the 21 Day Video Game Music Challenge. A fun, relaxing overworld loop (I've obviously been playing Animal Crossing too much...).

Prompts used: The Forgotten Beats (starts on 2 1/2, technically - that counts, right?), If It Ain't Got That Swing

Lazy Days

Day 4 of the 21 Days of Video Game Music Challenge! Today's loop is a cold, winter setting - more melodic and emotional than a soundscape, though.

Prompts used: None... again.

Dance of the Winter Winds

Day 5 of the 21 Days of Video Game Music Challenge! This track was particularly challenging for me for a number of reasons: I have never composed using 8-bit sounds before, I hardly ever write upbeat songs, and I am horrible at coming up with beats. But it was actually really fun! It is supposed to sound like a chiptune battle theme. Can you tell that it is heavily influenced by Pokemon?

Prompts used: Kickin' it Old School
