Playtime Rhythms

Carried by the swung rhythm of Wild Percussion, this playful, chiming tune is peppered with melodies from the likes of Ice Palace, Bubble Sines, Collecting Ants, Digital Ballerina and Sun Shapes. Extra texture is provided by Bubblewrap, and the outro is courtesy of Puzzle Wave and Object Permanence.

Coin Operation

A quirky synth-pop inspired track layered with the charming percussion of a toy piano, a pulsating ukulele bass guitar, and an introspective ocarina lead drenched in reverb. Includes the presets Strummed Ukulele, Thoughtful Bottle, Pirate Orchestra and Heavy Metal.

Sleepy Wednesday

A nostalgic track anchored by the airy, textured tones of the Innocent Winds preset. Sun Shapes drives the central melody, while Nap Time's music box arpeggios add a gentle rhythmic motion. Subtle melodica touches from Hurdy Gurdy and the glowing synth leads of Object Permanence round out the arrangement, blending warmth and lightness throughout.
