There's a nebulous quality to this, almost like the whole thing is woven out of mist or a puff of cloud. It's like catching sight of the light reflecting off the water in a very particular way that creates a shimmering colorful image, but if I turn my head to much I might lose sight of it.
The sound design on this track is SOOOOOO nice. So much movement in each of the voices, everything my ear picks out is interesting and has meaningful and useful movement. I think I've said it before, but your work reminds me so much of Caterina Barbieri. So much depth and complexity, built from artfully layered repetitions and just beautiful sound design.
Been a while! Hiiii 
Distortion on the pads & the bass makes the track and that sparse buildup is spectacular (I had to listen twice to convince me that higher pitched pad was there from the beginning).
Lovely, lovely, work!
So many awesome harmonies with your vocals in this. The back and forth play between the two chords is haunting. Those higher melodies like E to Gb (i think?) are so cool. The vocals in the outro totally inspired a chord progression idea. 
another awe-inspiring track! fav'd n sav'd!
what a soundscape! So many layers and the more you listen the more you hear.
Wow this is awesome. Amazing textures. Love all the layers. Especially the subtle vocals at the end. Haunting.
Love the soundscape of this. The vocals absolutely make the track….sparse and haunting.
Many of your tracks have a calming relaxing effect, this one is more ominous, full of anticipation, a bit of anxiety maybe. But still hopeful somewhat. I enjoyed it!

that part gets me every time. the distortion is dialed in just right. otherworldly. hits me in a simliar way that Sigur Rós sometimes hits. like it makes me feel more human and more alien at the same time.
i'll shut up now 
That synth has a great sound and works very well with the voice. I think I have listened to this track 5 times in a row while working.

Haunting and beautiful in its lingering dissonance
ya'll are so sweet 
So many cool sounds O.O. I really appreciate the absence of percussion in this track, there's just enough of a rhythmic element while keeping things feeling "floaty." Vocals over everything are superb
