Beautiful!

Very well put together song this week.  I love your sound design choices.  Between the bell-like sounds and the Infinity delay, you did a really good job of creating icy, polar imagery (at least for me).  Great vocals again, very fitting for this track.

ahhhh
great job though

You have a talent for making soothing sounds while also raising my anxiety.  And it's awesome.  It would be even more awesome if the stuff you were talking about wasn't so real and serious, but it's sort of the musical equivalent of turning lemons into lemonade. This really does evoke images of ice and glaciers.  And I can even kind of hear them dripping as they melt. 

Love everything about your production here, absolutely gorgeous sound. Partial to the subject matter also, and grateful for the link that I wish more people would see...

I imagine the looping sound ambient is as the melting ice, a slow change we must notice. It's lovely and sad. Thank you for the video also, it is important to know this.

Emily, this is dope! And terrifying. Great job!

we are having to navigate many converging dramatic/challenging tension points

music helps

thank you for listening & sharing your thoughts

The arrangement is really subtle, with this very "emily-ish" vibe. The vocals, layers, pace, original composition and sound choice. Really really good.

Ethereal, otherworldly, beautiful. Love the way that thickening tremolo delay texture works with with your voice.

really love how you juxtapose beauty with horror.

the reverb and the super high ping give a icicle feel

I SUBSCRIBED BUT I CAN'T COMMENT SO COMMENTING HERE

i'm trying to get comfortable with life's paradoxes
i am being shy about youtube
that ending - i started hearing this other song i wrote and wanted to tie them together - do you ever have repeating parts haunt your other songs? i just let them do their thing...

just joking around about youtube, definitely go at your own pace.  i'm also nervous/awkward about doing videos, so i get it.

that's awesome about the ending!

The tension between the staccato synth keys and those icy pads really sets the mood.  Especially enjoy how you got those lil repeating bits hovering about.  A very haunting piece indeed.

The delay effects are otherworldly. It begins to sound like an alien spacecraft hovering above! Are they stealing our ice or dropping the doomsday glacier? This is a soundtrack looking for a movie smile

Omg, I have 3 weeks of Emily tunes to catch up on, here we go. I love the video! Just subbed to you. I'm Creatures Once. I can hear the ice melting in this, in both small and big ways. Love your high notes in the end, chills! It's been fun to see the ice melting, have been watching that happen lately. I love that you make songs that seem to reference seasons and nature. Reminds us of where we are!
