wow wow wow such a gem here! and that ending, holy carps!

goodness, 27 hrs of afib sounds like a nightmare. glad you got a break. may it continue heart

This has a triumphant and inspirational feel.  I could see it sound tracking a montage scene in a movie where someone is training at something and continuously improving.  Nice surprise vocals at the end, too.

There's a marathon element to the tension here that's really both uplifting but also creates a sense of desperation... its a beautiful contrast and reflects your own horrible 27 hour marathon. Really beautiful. Absolutely love the vocals at the end heart

Sky high is apt. This feels like watching clouds roll in over the mountains in a sped-up time lapse.
I really enjoyed the short and sharp drams with the longer rolling chords and pads.
Absolutely stunning!

And the outro!!! What an unexpected surprise! The perfect ending

gorgeous, opens up into an anthem of all forms of freedom after being isolated or restrained. with some instrument choice differences, this sounds like a great Radiohead song to me. so talented

Chills from the get-go. That pulsing percussion/synth beginning was great, and I loved how you gave it enough space to breathe and develop. And then the full piano/synth part! Such a soaring combination.

The vocals at the end were a perfect coda. Maybe an undercurrent of, things are not what they seem, of change. The sort of tag that makes you hit play again so you can experience it a second time heart

What everyone else said. This is great work.

every week a step higher !! this is a beautiful journey and the pianos as always spot on !!! great work

Wow, this is tugging at the heart strings.

Like a soundtrack to some half forgotten TV movie that was playing when you fell asleep in front of the TV and work up at 3am as the credits roll.

Ach I hate the suffering that you endured but I love that you were able to transform it into this beautiful track. Thank you for including the vocals at the end! I hope this week is going better for you & wishing you continued healing.

Beautiful.  Menacing, uplifting, soaring.  All those things.  Some of the chord changes really pulled at me.  Thank you.

I’m grateful you’re sharing music with us each week too, Tone Matrix. 😊 This one really caught me by surprise in a cool way with how subtly it builds up to higher and higher energy levels!

Keep grinding, brother. The body can't stop the soul. The return of the chant was a plus.

Beautiful.

Happy you were able to share this week as well! This soars to the sky indeed. Hearing this and seeing clouds takes me away. A lovely break I needed. Oh if only we could go flying, music will have to do for now. There's some optimism and hope in this too, I like.

Great start to the track with the shuffling drums, such a nice transition when the piano really kicks in, definitely gives the sensation of flying through clouds.  Waiting for the accidental outro, was not expecting some vocals, great finish to this one.

YES!

Really, really pretty.

I'm so glad you're OK, much less able to make music. Amazing.

Wow, the vocals at the end... sigh. Like so much music here, waaaaaay more interesting than what many people will ever hear.

Had me at the initial build, couldn't wait to hear what unfolded and was not disappointed, always lovely to tune in. I sure am glad we made it through another week! Wishing you the best

wow the energy of this piece makes me feel like i'm flyin' heart

so much emotion and hope in this, the last minute takes it to another level!

This is awesome, I love how it builds with all the different layers you use. Fantastic piano keys too!!

Oh wow. This is just spectacular. Got a Bond soundtrack feel I can't shake. Excellent stuff. Favorite!
