What a cool soundscape to start things off with! I love this almost drunken piano loop to start combined with the steady rainfall, it has a really cool “struggling to survive” kind of vibe to it.
The production on this is some of the best I’ve heard in the jam so far – the blend of ambient sounds and orchestral instrumentation really works, giving the whole thing a feeling of ceaseless mourning.
I could have used just a little more variation in the instrumentation and melodies – it would have been really cool to let the piano take a step back towards the middle sections, giving the violin, vocals, and maybe some bass elements a chance to shine.
Awesome work!
