Description
The Great Expanse - the wonder of journey, and the breathtaking rush that you feel at the top, knowing the boundless blue before you and seeing the far reaches ahead.
The gentle rain on your skin calms you; and even though the impending storm approaches you feel solace as you listen for the silence between two strikes.

Oooooh, this has "the vibe" dude. I don't have much to add other than to pile on to what others said here - the drumbeat and instrument selection is great!
1:18 onwards has got to be the most pocket-y, grooviest stuff I've heard in a jam. Super refreshing, and I hope to hear more of your beats here or elsewhere in the future
Likewise pleats! We also had that moment where once we heard 1:18 onwards we were like "yeahhhh"
I like the Lo-fi feel of this. I am a huge fan of the genre, so it was nice to hear this submission.
Fantastic vibe, really like this! Only need a bit of more BASS as others have mentioned, and then you got a heck of a track😉
Good stuff!
Well composed, interesting track.
I agree with Fox, needs more bass for this one in particular, especially after that buildup, it should just open up into a full mix.
Great work though! :)
Very nice soothing track, mix is good well placed together, I think I told you in the last vocal session but the only missing element to make this pops out waaaaay more is the BAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS. Get some nice bass in there and everyone will be happy x10000. Good job :)
After you said it, I was like CRAP, that's what we forgot! Hahaha can't believe we forgot the bass!!
Heh I think I'm going to start calling you Davie504, but I agree for this track, which is definitely calling for it.
Nice and chill ^3^ Great work, thanks for sharing !
Just love it, this is perfect. Definitely the kind of music I'd listen to !
Congrats :)
I love hearing traditional instruments mixed and used in conjunction with synthesizers, you killed this! Definitely going in my playlist rotation!!
I love to hear that! Thanks simishcj!
Really great arrangement of tasteful and dynamic electronic instruments. Love how melodic instruments are being used as percussion in places. The chord progression is relaxing and modern. It sounds like you're pulling in extended chords from adjacent keys which I always love. The wait for the bass drop was a little long (1:22 or so) and the payoff could be deeper. I wanted some deep bass frequencies and a mind-melting bassline after the high-end intro. Overall the textures and harmonies really won me over. This is a fantastic, well-executed, listenable tune that puts a contemporary spin on the theme.
Total vibe. Chord progressions are ace!
I'm glad you liked the chord progressions! I love crunchy chords
What a beautiful vibe. I can't stop listening to it. This is so cool!
Thanks Avengelic!!
Really liked the flow. I can see myself listening to this in the background while working. Great job!
Glad you said that! We tried going for a kinda lofi vibe. Glad you enjoyed!
Pretty unique sound, a little to modern / hip-hop esq for the them for me but not bad at all. Great submission.
Thanks TurtleBox!
