Really nice stuff.  You're usage of reverb continues to be top-notch.  I like the tape-hiss like sound also.  It gives it a warm lo-fi kind of quality.

Second the comment about the reverb and the lo-fi. There's a lot about this that is beautiful and haunting at the same time. It's awesome.

Lovely piece and I like the drifting vocals amongst the hiss.

I am washed away by the reverb and hissing........... a beautiful piece again.

The texture is great as usual, and I absolutely love the focus on lyrics in this one. Very expressive.

i'm really enjoying just listening to this, i feel like there is not a lot of ambient style tracks here. nice to hear this.

Really pretty and intimate song. I like the way lyrics correlate to the rhythm being played (speeds up, slows down, stops and stutters). Your work sort of reminds me of the electronic artist Leila Arab and/or some of the early maudlin of the Well records (they're a metal band but they have their moments that vibe this way)

I love the way hiss and noise can become such indispensible elements to a track like this. I really enjoyed it.

Beautiful work! Wonderful reverb and processing, and I really like the keyboard arrangement as well.   It descends and drifts gently like an all-pervading mist!

Thank you!!! The hiss is me being to lazy to plug in an audio interface & nice mic - that's what you get when you turn garagebands recording mic waaaay up smile

Thank you - I struggle with that part! Just tried to let it flow & not overthink on this one.

It's already been mentioned but worth repeating, the atmosphere layout in this one is spot on big_smile

Lovely! Change on the horizon is good.

Wonderful vocal performance.

Love those soft notes. Love the dreamy vocals. Do you record albums? If no... doooooo it!

Well you made my day!  I have yet to release an album - thank you for the encouragement! 


Yeah what they said!  So verb-fi!  Your vocals as always sound so lush.  Well done!
