Nice vibe in this piece. I like the atmosphere and how serene it is.

Description
My submission for the jam!
Two feelings jumped out at me from Katsushika Hokusai's artwork. A sense of peace from the serene surroundings but the abstract figure in the waterfall also gave me a sense of foreboding. I tried to capture both of these with the twinkling guitars scattered with some off key notes and a dread filled bass which together gives an eerie feeling in what should be a pleasant melody.
The build and cut represents a moment where you snap out of a daydream or the feeling of glazed eyes returning to the present, and think what was I looking at?
I'm sure there wasn't anything in the waterfall....
