Ooof those deep echoes that become pad-like sound soooo soothing.  Feels like I just walked into Moria.  Great idea and love the ending.

Beautiful. Fitting title too. Your noodles stood up great! The damper noises sounds like a distant giant gallumping through the endless halls. Love the epic ambience

Agreed, this really is beautiful.  The way the notes swim through the reverb adds equally to the lovely and melancholic moments.  A fine noodle to get lost in

It feels like I'm sitting by a lake, looking at trees gently swaying. Soothing.

Sounds massive, and the harmonies are the sort of wistful thing that would fit Oblivion or Skyrim at night.

I'm a sucker for soaking wet reverb on piano. You've used it generously here to create that spacious, lofty, dreamy place where we go to forget the world for a few precious moments and float effortlessly through a timeless, endless soundscape. This is beautiful, atmospheric, and transportive.

Not sure how I missed this this past week ... apologies! It's really beautiful. I understand your concern about EQing the reverb but I don't think it's necessary, there is a rhythmic quality emerging from those distant echoes that really creates a different space for this track.

I'm really stating to fall in love with stuff like this that actually creates a space - not just a reverb, but a sense of the walls, the materials, the surroundings. Your underwater piece did it so well and this one has a sense of distant rock walls, still water, a night sky far away. Really beautiful.

Thanks, though I can't take credit for the idea, totally neon liminal there... I feel remiss for issuing a challenge right before I basically disappeared into work for three weeks, but I'm getting caught up now... so expect a bunch of comments in bound.  As always thanks for the kind words. 

Thank you, and I love that image... listening back after a few weeks, the mechanical noise does have a kind of cool vibe to it... I remembered it bugging me when I was mixing, but it seems more appropriate with fresher ears. 

Thank you so much, yeah it was a fun experiment to see how far one could push reverb... turns out 100% is how far. 

Thanks, you know it's funny I hadn't really thought about it until just now, but massive reverb does have a "lonely" quality... people are great sound dampeners... hmmm...

Oh, I love that imagery.  I'm glad it was soothing, it's funny how easy it is to get lost in reverby things. 

Oh, thank you, I'm honored that you think it would fit into the Elder Scrolls world.  Those are among my very favorite games. 

Thank you, I'm always happy to make tracks that are immersive in some way... I find I often get lost in the sounds when I'm recording them, and it always delights me to hear that others do to. 

Thanks, and yeah hearing it back, I'm less mad at the EQ of the verb itself.  And I'm totally with you, I very much love creating tangible spaces through sound.  One of the first things I had to do with for my grad school program was to create a few pieces of music that "perfectly" recreated a give piece of music, which required not only deeply listening but also figuring out how to make the samples I had sound like the ones used... which mostly broke down to getting them to sound like they were in the same room as the original... it was crazy hard, but it was unquestionably the most valuable thing I've studied (musically) so far.

I drowned in the reverb and loved every second of it. Reminded me of the Caldera short I just spent 20 minutes looking for. https://vimeo.com/evanviera/caldera
