So this turned out totally different from what I planned. Can’t decide if that’s a good or bad thing.

So the question is: can you have a good, not-so-boring song without a real melody? You decide.
Would this be considered ambient? It’s meant to be more of a background song.

I wanted to have more drums but I ran out of time, needed to have this done by tomorrow. I think it could use some nice toms or something. Maybe I’ll update it, maybe I won’t.
Edit: oh no I pretty much stole those flutes from one of my own songs. Oh, well.
~3-4 hours with many, many distractions.

“can you have a good, not-so-boring song without a real melody?”
that’s called background music
This sounds somewhat ambient, yes.

I really like your ambient songs, Clearwater!

Weren’t you Sapphire Clearwater before?

Ofcourse it’s possible. A lot of neurofunk has very little emphasis on the lead melody, because the genre focuses more on intricate rhythms and dark and gritty atmospheres with growling basslines. Yet the genre is one of my favorites because the energy and variation keeps me captivated. The same goes for other genres I think: you can make a song with very little Fo us in the melody, but you need to make up for it by instead putting emphasis on other parts of the song:)

I’d call it a background music for a peaceful game or movie. Or maybe a song in the credits.

I could see this showing up in an intro for a game like Klonoa or something.
