Nice intro and textures. It fits in the space nicely.
I feel like the high is just a tad harsh and could use a little eq work. Some of the notes still have that kind of midi sound that would benefit from a midi controller (generally, my recommendations are a midi controller, mic/dac, as you can find the resources to invest in them.)
Nice use of sounds in space.
Great work!
Nice chords and textures, I can feel the exploration and mystery going through your choice. good job :)
Very nicely done! I liked your control of dynamics and panning choices here, and the mix is easy on the ears.
Oh. your publication, as far as I understand correctly, I listened to it several times before the deadline (thanks to publications that can be listened to before the rating period!)
Overall - the overall atmosphere is simultaneously spooky, ancient, mesmerizing and a bit creepy :>
Good job! Pad's is beautiful!

Very ominous and perfectly captures the atmosphere of exploring unknown ruins.
Haunting yet beautiful. Great utilization of dissonance while still being very musical and memorable. Terrific mixing and arrangement. The small moments of consonance feel well earned and I'd be curious to see what a few more of those moments would sound like. You can't help but be moved and feel like you're somewhere you shouldn't be, you nailed the ambience and mood so well.
