Description
I wanted to compose for something that sounded almost kind of ancient and primordial-- something that is neither evil nor benevolent, just something that's been explored with genuine curiosity, something that's provoking some kind of slow, but meaningful change.

been recently trying to experiment with being sparse and still creating something that feels textured and interesting. wanted to work less in traditional chord progressions and was more interested in moving between major/minor parallels so that the piano notes couldn't feel easily familiar or readable. I was also inspired by the waterfall imagery in the artwork and was imagining the higher piano notes as cascading water drops, while the drone almost mimics the deep, continuous stream below

Nice gentle piano melody. The light distortion added some tension, though the overall song was generally peaceful.

Not bad, just not really mixed and kind of gets really muddy near the middle and end. I would have for sure considered panning things out much differently and taking a longer look at the EQ. 

There's so much clipping on the right side of the mix and without a strong pre-delay it all sort of just bleeds into the center.

Otherwise, really fantastic composition.
