      But they're pulling that bait and switch with Doom Eternal where most of the soundtrack is really chill and groovy, so he can just swap all instances where he named either game.

    Are we not going to talk about how someone at Nintendo figured that the perfect soundtrack for a video game about a small town civilization ruled by a society of talking animals is composed of minimal downtempo latin jazz fusion?
    ...and they were right?!

    the reason the accordion swells in volume is because in order to play it, the bellows fill with (and expel) air when the two halves are pulled apart or pressed together, similar to bowing a string instrument back and forth. the AC composers emulated this function of the accordion to a tee, even with the perfect cheesy soundfont, probably by using a midi keyboard’s mod wheel!

      Silence is definitely a huge part of Animal Crossing music. A few moments of silence can help the music sink in and give you a moment of quiet to just take everything in.

    I'd love to see a How To: Pikmin. the music in that game is similar to animal crossings in some areas but in others like in pikmin 2s caves, it completely deviates and turns super WACKY.

    Lol I like to produce fan made AC tracks because they're pretty simple and fun to make. This is accurate.
