How have you used the themes and the limitations?
By doing some research into some ambient chords, I was able to incorporate some nice voicings over some Sus2/Sus4 chords I had decided to implement. A subtle-like beeping sound was also included to give the listener a feel for a communication device being present during the ambient movement.
Did you take inspiration from another creation?
I remember playing a game called 'Outer Wilds' and I figured the space exploration and uncovering secrets left behind by a higher intellectual species had perfected the image I needed to create something that would accompany those particular cues.

I like it a lot!
The mood is set from the first 4 chords. Just fifths and fourths, very steady and stable. And then a little melody comes on top of it and I was destabilized (in a good way). The key is not at all what I imagined (B minor instead of A minor I think). It brings an enigmatic atmosphere.
As a fan of outer wild, I could imagine what you wanted to convey.
I won't detail everything but the rest is very good too.
Great idea the morse code in tune.
Bravo for your creation.
Thank you for your comment Selkione and I'm glad you like it! I used B minor whilst keeping the chords playing around the sus2 and sus4 family to keep the ambience moving.
I figured capturing an image from a game/film may help me keep things as original and as relevant as possible, thus outer wilds being that ideal image.
The morse code was an accidental find that I had to incorporate into the mix!
