Welcome to a relaxing tropical garden where creatures known as chao reside! It's Chao Garden! This here is a remix of the Chao Garden levels from BOTH Sonic Adventure DX, and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and it's a remix I've been wanting to do for a long time

This was a real test of my diversity and mixing abilities. It's a genre and style I've not touched in a while. I tried to emulate the relaxing feel of being in Chao Garden, raising chao in a stress-free environment. I also wanted to add a bit of a tropical feel to it, as the environment of the main Garden in Adventure 2, and even the Egg Carrier Garden of Adventure DX, was reminiscent of beach scenery. It was really fun working with different types of percussion and matching up sounds with the drums and the different kinds of instruments that one usually uses in tropical outlets

I played around with the pan shifting a little bit here in order to break up the monotony of repeating sequences. Listening to the original up close and personally really unlocked some memories of the past, but also gave me a good look at creating themes using sounds, meaning, giving the listener an idea of where or what is taking place. Audio art is a lot like visual art if you understand how that works

This song made its world premiere at Sonic Revolution 2023 in their first ever community live concert! It was very well received at the event, and I hope you all enjoy it as well. This was a moment I will never forget. Special thanks to Shayne, Lidice, and Kevin for making this all possible!
