Cozy indeed! Definitely nails that comforting, therapeutic vibe you're going for. This is a really cool concept for a track, and I bet it would serve its intended function very well.

Really nice sounding. What a thoughtful gift! One constructive comment: I know everyone is different, but to me the clave/wood block sound is a little too close to a ticking clock to allow me to move it into the background. My mind kinda dwells on it. Really like the vibe  of this.

wow, i love this concept, what a nice gift!

I like blighter's idea and would wonder how this would sound with no percussive elements at all.

Loved the track, and really like the concept as well!
Very well done, I'm currently working in a train à 6:45 am and it lands perfectly.

Very cozy. Maybe I can do that too at some point.

I 100% agree, there is something about making music intended to be background music that brings a weird contentment to the process.  It's like you're scoring unknown persons life, which I guess all music is kind of that, but with background/ambient, you're scoring a quite peaceful moment.  Takes away a lot of the pressure of "saying something" and gets to the more core purpose of music... communicating a feeling.  And, in this case for sure, leads to some really wonderful music.

Lovely guitar work and what a cool project

Very nice guitars indeed. I quite like the electric pianos too. Nice smooth track.

Thanks! This is probably one of the cozier tracks, when I did this last year I was afraid of minor keys because I didn't want to make anyone feel extra sad haha

Thank you! I really appreciate the comment, I think it was an element I added early and didn't think twice about it since it sounds so similar to a click track - I think playing along to these often made it blend into the background more for me. Realizing the part at 1:08 without the click is pretty nice... you might be on to something haha.

Yeah that's interesting! Hadn't occurred to me but this probably would have worked well without percussion.

Yay! Love to hear it's already background music for somebody

Thank you, I'm sure you can!

Yes!! Well said, I completely agree. Much appreciated!

Thank you

Thanks! Smooth is a great compliment here.

It's a very pleasant sound that makes you feel like you're melting.

What a sweet gift. And I appreciate you embracing the functionality of the piece as background music. Music can serve an important role in that way. This was a very pleasant listen. Thanks!

Aww, thanks! I'm happy it can give such a feeling.

Thank you! It's a small step up from elevator or hold music haha.

Thanks!
