mint — Snail’s House

Something very comfy and nostalgic about the chords, even though it’s a more energetic song
Feels like a sort of confident relaxation to me

I think what really makes the track compelling overall is the great volume enveloping on the chords, with the octave jumps in the bass
The enveloping feels very much like the type of thing that couldn’t be achieved through live performance on an existing instrument, but still alive and dynamic, which is a good pocket for electronic music to be in

Generally the piece is pretty monothematic, just the one idea repeated several times, with a little transition section sometimes
But the texture and timbres get changed up throughout the process,
and I think the theme is just that good
