oh my goodness this is so pretty and sad and hopeful and heavy and

thank you

Beautifully desolate stuff Tone Matrix. Digging the bell/music box driven melody in this one too, so nice use of those new sounds. Happy Week 27!

I like the choice of sounds in this track, with the layers that are smooth or crystal like. The bass provides rhythm and structure. I like how one notices some elements when they stop. Good track!

I like how the percussion has a chugging mechanical sound while the synths add a blissful feel over the top.  Nice buildup as well, it starts to feel quite dramatic by the end.

Absolutely lovely, there's so many overlapping rhythms and textures, it becomes very dreamy and fluid and just sweeps you away, really beautiful heart

great track, you know the bit crush drums were 100% my jam

Love how this builds both melodically and rhythmically with that pulse just sneaking in towards the end. Subtle and gorgeous

cosmic yet tethered to the ground, very expressive and thought provoking. thank you

Another heartfelt tune from you, you have a gift for either making feelings come across or making your audience feel emotional, that's precious.
On the technical side, the contrast between acoustic and digital instruments works wonder, spanning the whole spectrum, while the laid back bit-crushed drums adds a welcome nonchalance but steady rhythm to grasp.
Excellent job!

Thanks for another beautiful track.

Very nice layering, excellent choice of different sounds and textures.

such a nicely glued sound and the magic, melancholy melodic elements are incredible as usual. lovely track. I imagine an old man trying to walk up a mountain in the rain for some reason.

Man I love that crunchy bit reduced percussion

The piano really has space to breathe as well, some lovely chunk to the low notes.

Pads are really locked swelling in from the keys in a very organic way.

Great sound design, love those vsts. Bit crush is awesome. Sure hope you get to feeling better.
