this week I wanted to do something a bit different... I did a rather pretty, even a bit new-agey track. I even dusted my old D50 for the job! So this is definetly not dark, neither techno. To ensure the total "health music" vibe, I even added some nature sounds here and there. I decided not to play any proper melody, but just improvised with suitable sounds... I didn´t want to make it TOO sweet smile

Super relaxing vibe on that one.  The nature sounds were a nice touch.

You had me at D50! Excellent layering, and just the right amount of sweet! In ways to me this is in between new-age and vaporwave, very nice place to be at!

Very chill...and love the background arp bubbles over the lush textures...and the evolution is really great too..like it pulls you further and further into the world

Really nice textures and harmonies. I feel healthy as heck right now. I'm gonna go eat an entire head of broccoli in one sitting.

Thanks!!! Yeah, they are a kind of a cliche, but on the other hand, why not. They´re natural ambiences after all smile

Thanks!!! Much appreciated. D50 has quite a lot of potential, still after all those years.

Haha smile   Just wait for the next week...  thanks!

Quite dreamy and an almost retro feel to the electronica. Dug the ending too.

Wow, very different kind of track this week. Layers of rich sounds make it interesting to listen deeply and search out all the different instruments. I like the variety of percussive instruments with strings and brassier tones. All sounds very warm and natural.  It's like wading through a jungle and arriving at the shore with a waterfall pouring over the rocks into the sea.
