This sounds like an abrupt loop but it's like that in the game too.

Doesn't surprise me for a 2001 PC game lol

- This piece is in A mixolydian, so it should be written in A major (three sharps) with G naturals in the melody.
- For the left hand patterns in the even-numbered measures, I think it sounds a bit more chromatic - that is to say G#/D# instead of G/D - but I'm not too sure. What do you think?

Oh man, I totally meant to add a key signature but I must have forgotten. Done, thanks!

That's a tricky spot to hear. I wasn't sure either - neither of them were sounding quite right to me, so I sought a third opinion from a friend and he heard it as Gn/Cn to A/C#. That sounds the most right to me so far... thoughts?

The funny thing is that this would play during the entire lengthy installation process so the abrupt loop was really obvious... imagine listening to this for like half an hour while waiting for the game to install off of several discs haha.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm hearing G# and B# to A and C#, but if you prefer you could write it as G#/D# to A/E to sound less muddy on the piano. Whichever option you prefer, but it's definitely G# for the low note!

Sounds good, I'll trust you on the G#! Also good call on spelling it as a B# instead. I actually like the thirds, I feel it captures the muddiness of the original haha.

Thanks for taking a look/listen!

Perfect, that's my preferred option too! The rest looks good to me

[Latios212]

Me too!
