Soundcloud - here's a version with some fixes to the mix and arrangement. A small additional effort for big improvements in my opinion, but would of course have loved to spend more time.

comments on submission:
this is the first time I didn't even finish a crude arrangement. my time optimism put me in a situation where I had to export and submit before I listened to what I had put together. there was some pasting errors for a/b parts and wonky levels so I spent a little bit longer and uploaded the track with some fixes to Soundcloud.

I really thought this week was going to be easy. Monday was a US holiday so I had a bit of time and it resulted in a fun four bars loop that I thought was promising. unfortunately no more time for the rest of the week. that's how it goes! I think this could have been good if I spent some time on the original idea and fleshed it out.

Listening to the SC version. A pleasant, chill vibe. the Oh-ooh voice sound is sweet. In fact, all of the sounds are sweet. I think it could have used some more development. Especially in the second half, if you introduce a new melody there. It could really go place. So it may not be full there yet, overall the foundation is good and strong!

Love the melodic lines in this, they're so playful. There's a real lightness and bright feeling throughout. Really fun track!

So cute and bouncy, groovy. Nice harmonisation!

Loving the playful bounce between the drums and lead melody.  The quiet ending with the woodwindy instruments is extra soothing too.  smile

listened to the SC version... really nice, laid back groove. mix sounds great to me, i lounged!  big_smile

Sweet upbeat groove and a lovely airy arrangement.
Love when the bass goes more staccato at 0:40, turns it from a relaxed groove into a full on headbop.

Very chill and a delightful melody. It sucks when time seems to work against you (or you just don't have enough welcome to my life), but having short arrangements like this in your pocket can save time later, or teach some tricks to make the process easier in the long run.

Also I have submitted terrible mistakes cuz I didn't have time to final-listen and this sounds sooooo good compared to those disasters lol.

Good stuff here! Agree with Dustsucker, really like how the bass groove switches things up

This is fun. Wii waiting room vibes and just evolves into chill jazz.

Thank you for listening and the thoughtful comment. Extra thanks as last time for listening to the SC one ><. This comment made me actually vary up the lead melody on this weeks track even though I was running out of time!

Thats my hope that this is making me both speedier and better. It is getting easier to make these panic tracks pretty quickly which is a big step for me. With more practice I think they’ll be more fully formed in the same time. Thanks very much for listening and the encouragement
