I like these sounds - staccato synth hits and a nice melody that takes me back to 16 bits games!

Listening to this, I can 100% see a cool and Shady wizard potion brewer who's trying to get you to buy his illegal wares, hahahaha... Nice!!!

I'm also actively trying not to go in the same direction too much given how much output we're supposed to have here by end of year. So far I do feel like some of my things sound "alike", but that reminds me of a book I read once by a studio engineer. One of the things he said was that for an album to feel cohesive, the music has to to an extent use the same elements. Similar instrumentation, some motifs that return, some lyrics that play on each other between songs, and so on. He said, "that's called style, man".

So I'm not too worried about this since. And remember, Vivaldi composed almost 500 concerts and all anybody knows is the "Four Seasons".

Thanks! I definitely like more staccato notes in songs, and really leaned into that for this one. Sometime I need to make some sort of evolving soundscape to make a song over to change things up.

Well, now I need to fit this theme into my next song!

That sounds pretty wise to me! I think part of it, is finding a/my style (or at least sticking to one for a while, haha). On many occasions I've bought new releases of old-favorite bands, and people say "it sounds just like their old stuff", and I say "yeah, that's why I bought it", haha. I guess I just like their style :-)
