'Balloons' Animal Crossing inspired orchestrations by Ryan Stunkel

Balloons is a relaxing acoustic album, inspired by the music from Nintendo's Animal Crossing series. With this in mind, I had two goals. One, I wanted to make the style fairly minimalistic, while keeping it emotional. And two, I wanted to make each track represent different times of day. So, I based each track on a general time during the day, starting with "Wake Up" for the morning. I wanted to incorporate a lot of my own style and personal taste into the composition and arrangement of each track. Although the album is not particularly themed towards Animal Crossing, the games remained my source of inspiration and I created this album to sort of give them under my own interpretation! There is a story to this album, but I don't want to say what it is because I like hearing other peoples interpretations of a story for the music! So if you have any ideas for stories I would love to hear them. The entire album was created using the following VST and AU sample libraries: Versillian Studios - vis.versilstudios.net/hand-chimes.html East/West Hollywood Strings East/West Symphonic Orchestra East/West Goliath EZ Drummer But thanks for coming by to listen to Balloons!
