Digging the kind of spacey, relaxing at the beach, 50s comedy movie soundtrack, jazzy kind of mixture here, putting me in this pleasant calm swingy mood. As suggestion for improvement, I would say the two first string attacks are very loud, contrasting with the rest of the piece levels. Loving as well the subtle (triangle?) clings around the end. Cool work.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the vibe and I appreciate the feedback.
A very relaxing track with an ethereal vibe. Towards the end it's even romantic.
I can picture two good friends walking through the snow as they banter.
My main criticism is at the start of the track, the strings jumpscare you. The bass is super quiet, which lured me at first to turn up my volume, at which point I was shouted at by disproportionately loud strings (seemingly louder then any part of the song????). If you just made the bass in this section loud enough to hear, and the strings more quiet (like they are at 0:26) I could give the quality category the ammount of stars this elegant song truly deserves.
Thank you for the kind words, and I appreciate you giving such specific feedback on the strings. I was aiming to create a surprisingly large crescendo with those strings but it sounds like it comes across as too much. Would definitely be more inclined to just dial back the dynamic on the strings at the beginning
I love that marimba (?) like sound, very calming. The strings were also lovely!
Thank you! I got the idea for the marimba from the Crystal Palace track in Paper Mario and thought it fit fantastically, I'm glad you liked it
Love the patience and space throughout, and that bassline is so relaxing!
Thank you for the kind words. Space is one of my favourite elements to mess around with in music. Its a really fun puzzle working out how to make the music breathe.
