Swanstar (Winter Chip XI)

[Modus Ponens]

Hi, folks! Long time no post. Here's something I wrote for a school project, and I think it turned out very nicely, so I'm going to enter it into this year's Winter Chip competition over on Battle of the Bits. Before I do, I'd love to hear any feedback you all have.

The game's working title is Swanstar. It's about a young Star-man named Bow who accidentally falls to the Earth, and must get the help of a magical swan-ship named Alphaelle to return home. A good portion of the game will be spent sailing, à la Wind Waker, and this piece is the game's sailing theme. It's heavily inspired by both the Great Sea theme and Wind Garden from Super Mario Galaxy, with a little tribute to David Bowie thrown in there.

Please tell me your thoughts!

Edit: Updated the file.

WCXI submission complete! I retooled the ending a bit to make it work better as a standalone song.

Awesome. Great control over the vibrato and volume swells. Everything falls in pretty perfectly.
