For Possum Springs

By sleepside on Yesterday 11:38 pm

This is a tribute to the video game "Night in the Woods." For those unfamiliar, "Night in the Woods" is an adventure game about 20-year-old burnouts in a small, dying town. It's funny and sad and I think about the characters from it quite often.

This is also part of the new WB sample challenge AiDeRen started. Short version: share samples to the challenge discord thread, then make a song using the samples contributed (plus any other sounds you want). You can view and join the challenge on the WeeklyBeats discord here: https://discord.com/channels/134225551081734144/1521473004951961731.

As a personal challenge, I decided to use at least one sample from everyone (and I accidentally ended up only using challenge samples). Full list below:
Dustsucker - Fan 1
Lizenn - WB Sample (2)
deeckzeven - modular wacky beat 135bpm
Ralphadalphia - Cas Cas
Endojo - Piano Chord 13
Evanericksonmusic - SPLOINK_SL47
AiDeRen - RAREWAKE OUTRO
Janky Jams - HelicalPad_Mix_Dm
electronic_tiger - HiHats Loop and MetallicAccent02_rr01
N_ronvaldez - Sunset Night Uke_78BPM
MyloWhyTho - DLOOP_4BAR_120BPM
TheDaeVolta- BRASS_Dmaj_100BPM
Sleepside (me!) - BASS_C and STAIR_CLAPS

Sound like a pretty cool challenge.  The results of combining so many different samples prove surprisingly cohesive.  The elements sound like they go together and create a pleasant and upbeat vibe.

Impressive work, so diverse and yet coherent from start to finish!
Hard to think you'd only use the samples provided by the community...
Thanks for the shoutout! Hope to see another great track for another challenge later.
Excellent job.

Lovely little tune. I'm unfamiliar with Night In The Woods. But this sounds like being sad and lost in a dead-end town alright. Well done!

Solid use of the samples. Must have been a tough challenge.

Well played!
