Quiet Period

If someone makes speedtrash in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

This song has instantly hypnotized me. It has the perfect dreamy mood and a beautiful melody. I wish it was a bit longer.

That piano against the arpy pad is chef's kiss. Very cinematic!

Nitpick: when the bass comes in, it's a bit startling as it's much louder than the sounds before. I'd try starting it at a bit of a lower level, and having the other sounds at the beginning of the track louder to compensate. That's in fact what I had to do with my track this week as I had a similar issue.

really into the percussive sounds you've used in this one, nice chill vibe.

If speedtrash is good, is it still trash? Love the vibes here.

My two cents: apply a big reverb, of the first bar of the bassline bar, then reverse it, so you could use it as a riser. Doing that you would subtly grab the listeners ear while not having to think about other volume levels except the main fader. It is true that the bassline could be a little bit lower in the mix, because that piano is so gorgeous as it is smile

Anyway, great track. Lovely calm moments
