And you fly all the way up!
There's parts which sound like the guitar starts a synth pad and they're gorgeous. Nice track, nice mix.
I really like the humming and whistling in this track and the mix is really good since everything blends together in such a pleasing way. Just wondering, was the whistle and hum self recorded or did you use a sample? (Sorry if you already mentioned that somewhere and I didn't see it)
They were both recorded by me! I thinned them out with EQ and added a dry dark plate reverb o that they would it in the track better. Thanks for the question!
That’s super cool! They sound really clean so you mixed them super well :)
I love the guitar it's so cleanly recorded, Great Track!
Thanks!
This is a very cool track, what a chill vibe !
At first I had some Outer wilds vibe, probably the guitar and whistle :D But you really created an atmophere here, this calm groove evokes well the nature , and is very pleasing to listen to
Special mention to the ending chords, very cool changes to finish the piece, surprised me in a very good way :D
Nicely done !
Thank you i was going for outerwilds! I'm glad you liked that chord, i was very pleased with it haha
The combination of sounds in your piece really make it one of the most creative entries I've heard so far imo. Your use of duality tells a story in an effective but subversive way. You use sounds and spaces that sound both very intimate and very grand which is a great way to set the scene. Rock climbing is also definitely both at times very tricky and very pleasant and the arrangement really reflects those feelings. It feels like there may even be someone climbing alongside me. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much! I certainly was trying to evoke a sweetness and sense of triumph I'm glad that came through
Really like those guitar bends and the instrumentation choices in general are very good!
Like the whilstling and humming a lot
All the sounds work together very nicely and you've got a clear and nice sounding mix
Good structure and a very nice ending
thanks a lot!
Nice mood. The whistling and humming are a good addition to the feeling of a carefree climb, I appreciated them. Nice bending too, it makes me feel as if the climb is surely a nice time, but not effortless. I was a bit disoriented by the very first bend, maybe it's a bit weird to have it as the very first (actually second), isolated sound in the track. But it might be really subjective.
Nice work :)
Interesting, I hadn't considered this. It certainly is jarring, Although since all the guitars are digital I think it sets a a good precedent. I appreciate the feedback :)
really enjoyed the bending of the guitar. I can see myself listening to this while climbing a mountain :)
I appreciate that!
