This is certainly a cheerful piece. It's got a more "driving/propulsive" style with the added percussion, and some interesting melodic and timing twists. Definitely an earworm. Now I have to go and solve some anagrams :wink:

Good work :)

I find the melody and arrangement interesting. Unfortunately, it doesn't groove and instead plods along like a march. The bassline would work well on tuba. Maybe synth marching bands could be a thing?

just wanted to share some of Markku's other works in case no one bothered to check out his youtube.
There has been some discussion on here regarding melody and flow, and this folks is what
a melody is!

this is a seriously cool guitar track, Markku!

Nice melodies and great happy track Markku! Sounds strident to me like we better be cheerful, or else. ;)
Well done!

that was quite happy, bit cheesy too. Think a singer would work on this one too

Pretty nice melodies. I would say that some of the synths are a little dated/cheesy sounding, but no biggie. Definitely put me in a good mood!

Would love some feedback on my project in viewtopic.php?f=14&t=470708

Nice! I feel like this has to be the soundtrack to a video game in which a little guy bounces around and makes everyone happy with some kind of a "happy ray." It moves forward with determination and momentum, and has some great melodic work embedded in it.
