I uploaded the two songs I made for my Mindustry mod, Lunar Abyss (github.com/Chromoxylograph/Lunar-Abyss shameless plug I know) to Newgrounds as I usually do with my music and Thousand Year Shore got frontpaged. I was not expecting that at all.

I thank everyone who has listened to the song (https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1396799) and I hope to continue making music that people enjoy.

I want to go a bit into the development of the song, so read if you're ready for a text wall.

Thousand Year Shore is a song made in UltraBox, a modded version of BeepBox. The song is in C# Harmonic Minor, and I used the instruments Supersaw Pad, Brightness, Flute 1, and Seashore to make the song. The Supersaw Pad is the first instrument you hear in the song, as it fades in with the Seashore sound effect following.The flute states it's sad introduction and introduces the melancholic emotion I was attempting to portray. The Brightness quickly follows and continues for the rest of the song. After some time, the instruments go away except the brightness, then the other instruments start to reappear. The song proceeds to repeat an earlier segment, and as the flute plays it's last note, the final 3 instruments replay their earlier segments. The song ends with the seashore fading.

This is the third song I can truly say I put real effort into. I reccomend you listen to Hymn to a Storm (https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1391579) if you want my best composition work, though. It's just pianos, I get it, but I thought it fit the atmosphere better. It's the only song as of yet I've made with tempo and time signature changes (with 5/4 time through most of the song.)

Thanks for the frontpage (and thanks to the kind fellow that scouted me for the Audio Portal)
