wow, easily one of the most unique tracks i've heard throughout the whole jam. really glad i got around to this one. the juxtaposition of sparse, naturalistic elements & ambience against hyper-pop style autotuned vocals was so unexpected, and the mixing and panning really elevated those elements to a different levels. amazing piece

This mix is so good, there's fantastic peak control and you're not loosing those mids and highs that "feel" like they're right up against my ear! Definitely something I am going to reference from now on doing my mixes, great work!

Very unique. Cool sound design and great mix!

Absolutely love your work <3 want more !!!

I think mix and composition are good on a technical level, but I had to cut a bit on the listenability as I felt lost sometimes, having to hear more than once to try and grasp why somethings were so pleaseant, like the 50sec passage, but then stuff like the extreme loud reversed voices that just seemsd out of place and detracted from something that I was enjoying.

Don't take me wrong , it's a very interesting submission, gave you an extra on creativity(which was the main goal of the jam), but I barely felt the theme, you grasped some oriental harmonies but I wouldn't classify that was a correlation to the theme, than again could just be me having a hard time interpeting it.

take care :)

Feels very complex; I think this would work well to just sit and listen with empty thoughts, almost meditative. 

Great sound design.  It's kind of unnerving to listen to, almost hurts my ears.  Not sure how you'd tame the dynamic range to be honest.  Certain high frequencies are slightly painful and loud to me.  Despite that, all the sonic elements come together and it makes sense, and is a cool short journey.  This is a really unique submission and definitely stands out!!

Doesn't really fit the theme much at all, and I heavily disagree with people praising the mix. It's quite impulsive between the L/R channels. While each bit and piece does sound nice, the actually panning is really aggressive and it doesn't work in the tracks favor for a jam like this. 

While I think the overall track is cool and well thought out, I think it's a little to much for the sake of being to much and ends up overshooting the task this Jam handed out. 

Nice work either way.

Indeed you did take this to the next level. I listened this morning with my good headphones (and not messed up by the stream)

Excellently mixed, the mix is so cohesive and interesting.

As I mentioned last night, on second listening I still want to hear a little more of these elements come together into something more cohesive, precisely because I feel like I can hear where it's going.

I think my only other feedback is knowing your submission to the last Imagination jam, many of the techniques and elements you did here are the same as what you did before.

Heh... as for symbolism and the "stochastic" nature of water, stochasticity is essentially just the mathematical term for chaos, a word that exists to help refer to the mathematical theory of chaos. But, it is simply *chaos!* 

I think you'll find this interesting, this composition from 1737:

That said, chaos creates new order, and order creates the platform for productive chaos.

Another thought... A real challenge would be to try to break tonality and progression a little more and *then* have it reunite into something that is fully cohesive.

Anyways, great work!

Cool stuff as always! Feeling that i need to actually learn sound design since i always get a bit jealous listening to your submissions 😂.
