Here is a SoundCloud version where I made some quick fixes to stuff that stood out to me during listening party (like I had mistakenly muted the bass track).


This track caps off our trip to Seoul. It inspired by the long flight home where you're thinking about all the fun you've had but also can't wait to be back in your own place.


Excuses for speedtrash:
I was too physically and mentally drained this week to put effort in. Between jet lag after a trip, recovering from flu and work that had piled up - it become a bit much.

If you're reading this I hope your week was incredible.

Even though the week was tough, you were able to make some thing quite pretty out of it!!! Impressive!

hehe thank you kindly.

I think I prefer the WB version without the bass over the SC version. It has more space. The bass in the SC version is very upfront, demanding a lot attention. Maybe it would work better if it was a bit quieter? Anyway, sweet little snippet. Love the textural nature of it. And the field recordings thrown in. They add a nice sense of depth to the piece. Nicely done!

Oof sorry to hear you've been dealing with the flu and jet lag.  I hope you get some proper time to recover. Jegasus is correct this is really pretty and giving me some dreamy feels with the sweet piano and vocals.  Well done!

this feels very much like Returning Home music heart
hope you are feeling better!

hope you're feeling better! this is so lovely and dreamy

Thanks for listening and commenting. Always appreciate your POV. I did a second tweak later that day and I _think_ I rebalanced the bass slightly among other things.

You folks are lovely. Thank you very much!

Giving me, Dave the Diver, vibes.
I like the deep muted percussion.

This is dreamy. Floating in a sun soaked sea.
