Nice ambiance, I like the chords, very simple yet it still sounds very deep, like the bass but i'm a cracker for bass too , good job :)

I love the deep bass right out of the gate.

The composition is nice, and the slight pitch shift is nicely balanced and integrated well. I also like the development coming in with the other synth later, it's also a tasteful addition.

The mix is well balanced as well. The electric piano in the upper range also does a lot for this.

I think my ear wants to hear the electric piano have a little more melody as it develops. You probably ran out of time, but I feel like after the electric piano cuts out, that would be a perfect place for percussion, a nice pattern built on 1-2-3-4-5-6 that adds some energy but keeps it chill.

Great work overall!

I liked the atmosphere of this piece quite a lot, and the light piano was a nice touch!

My critiques for this would be:

1) I'd like to have heard a little variation in the bass - having that repetition is nice to create the vibe, but I think having even a slight change once the piano line on Track 4 comes in would have been a cool contrast in sections without being too different.

2) I would've probably liked to have heard a bit more reverb on Track 2 and not as strong of an attack. I like the timbre of the part and how it seems to change in texture over the course of the piece (maybe?), but I think if you played around with its velocity a little bit it would help it blend better with the rest of the tracks, imo.

Thanks for sharing this - keep up the good work :)

Very pleasant little track. Very relaxing and can go on and on for a long time looped. Love the atmosphere you created.
Good job!
