I really really really like this one, and I can not believe this is 1:37 running time -- at 0:53 the whole thing just made sense and then... well, then this sort of had a string of payoffs non-stop w/ no breaks to breathe. Remarkable movement through several things but without causing headspin or ever sounding random. Don't actually understand how this works, will need to spend time w/ this.

Anyway, just really really memorable and hummable and delightful and awesome and adventurous and is barely over a minute-and-a-half long! Inspiring.

[spoiler] So the sea-shanty (what I'm calling it) that happened around 0:40 or so that you develop into a breakdown at 0:53, then the gabberesque carnival (delightful, and the laughter descend is awesome) -- the subsequent arpeggios, is that derived from the supporting arpeggios for the 0:13--0:30? It functions differently at the end, but sounds "right" rather than what I call chiptune's ABCDEF-type form (where it's just more content -- that's not always a bad thing).

Crazy good, but half way trough it becomes even more crazy good! I like how it starts to swing more and more, just like a good polka is supposed to. I would have enjoyed another last verse in a higher key with increasingly higher tempo.

I love this! So chaotic, groovy and whimsical all at the same time!

Thank you for the feedbacks!

It was a pretty random and unstructured effort, so I'm glad it worked out. It was made during covid week, the kids an myself at home, with the joys and occasional cabin fever that led to. I guess the "non-stop payoffs with no time to breathe" thing must be about Wednesday, when the kids were very ready for new adventures, but I wasn't quite there yet. ^_^;

The arpeggio lead at the end wasn't written with any specific regard to earlier parts except it was built over the same foundation.

Glad you enjoyed!
