This ambient is intense! The one melody synth has a cool sound that at first it seems like a voice. I also feel uninspired on my songs many weeks but it is okay. This is still nice to listen

I totally understand the difficulty toggling.  Usually once I force myself to get making some music I'm able to find at least a little inspiration.  Sounds like you are, too.  This has a cool ominous vibe.  I'm kind of picturing a big Titanic-sized ocean liner on a vast dark sea.

I hear (relatively) simple but not uninspired. Sounds good to me!

What is that sound that comes in at around 1:15? It's really fantastic, and feels like a great melodic compliment to the textures you create up to that point.

I d'oh think this sounds uninspired at all. It's got a great build and it's rich with interesting layers. But I'll always take a Simpsons gif!

Damn, those pads are no joke.  I like how the chip tuney kind of leads slowly emerge from them.

Thanks! That’s a saw wave with no sustain, shortish decay run through a bitcrusher. The amp envelope also modulates the pitch of the oscillator.

Agreed about the layers, there's a lot of interesting texture going on down there. Sorry to hear about being uninspired!

Gorgeous track, sometimes I go back to things that I felt were 'uninspired' at the time and they actually inspire me to either finish them or make something similar. This is at least an excellent foundation and I could see an epic buildup unfolding in this track.

Your track sounds amazing and has a scary cinematic atmosphere, feels like hundrets of little creatures are coming to crawl under my skin. Good job and not uninspired.

The strings build such a strong foundation for the track. Real epic

These pads are awesome. They sound nice but when they stop, the echoes have an ominous feel to them. That is a really cool effect.

This is really really nice. You could, if you wanted, explore some variations in the harmonic voicing in those chords. But really, thoroughly nice work for "uninspired".

Thanks! If you’re curious how to achieve that effect: get a pitch shifting reverb, shift down by half a semitone and crank the feedback up

The opening pad came on like a heavy rain descending without warning. Watching the series Dark, I could hear this as one of the pieces that intertwines the tragic and dynamic events between characters. Making the transition between working and creative life is hard. It took me 10 years to figure out how to start bridging the gap. I had to settle on a voice recorder for ideas during a lunch break or drive home, where I made sure to think about music and hum and dictate an idea.
