Description
I set out to create an ambient piece that embodies the essence of the theme, aiming to capture a balance between tranquility and an underlying hint of uncertainty. My goal was to keep the composition simple and minimalistic, yet immersive—something I could listen to over long stretches without feeling overwhelmed. Rather than focusing on melodic shifts, the movement and texture in the piece arise from small changes in sound design and subtle effects. These gradual shifts create a sense of evolving atmosphere while maintaining a steady, calming presence throughout the track.

Description of Setup (Optional)
My mix chain is fairly straightforward, relying primarily on EQ, dynamics, and a limiter to shape the sound. I also incorporated a surround delay effect to add depth and dimension to the mix. For the auxiliary effects, which I applied selectively to certain instruments, I used two of my favorite plugins: Valhalla Supermassive and Output Portal.
