The ableton story is the material of nightmares for the musician!

I Loooooooved that track. It is both delicate and epic. I like how the clean and epic piano lines go shoulder to shoulder with the grittier tones, that feel like organic crunches. The ending is beautiful. I can close my eyes and picture the flight over a magical landscape. That's a beautiful track to open the week!

Ugh, losing stuff you've worked on is the worst.  It reminds me of when I used to forget to save a paper I was working on for school and it would somehow close down and I'd lose the whole thing.  Terrible stuff.  This actually happened to me recently on a track I was working on, but fortunately I had saved fairly recently before that and I only lost a couple of parts that I was pretty easily able to recreate.  It was still annoying to have to spend the time doing that instead of progressing on.

I'd say you made the best of a bad situation though here.  This is really quite a beautiful and soothing listen.  It brings the positive feels in droves.

Good stuff happens. And shit happens. That’s life. Take it easy. Your song l hear is very very nice.

Yeah, you gotta save often. And once there's a project directory, still "save as" whenever you make a larger change.

I learned this in early 2000s working with Jeskola Buzz and Psycle, both of which crashed often and in the worst moments.

I'm sorry you lost work, all I can say is that this slow and open version is very pleasant to listen to regardless. There's plenty of "structural" piano here.

ah buddy, you can't seem to catch a break! but yes, at least no falls this week. gotta count that in the Win column!
i hope your beautiful piece cast out all the computer gremlins. it really was such a nice listen. i ended up just hitting play and letting all your tracks from this year play through as i needed some calm and inspiration this afternoon.
i hope this is received as a compliment - i had been listening to Roger Eno's incredible new album (The skies, they shift like chords...) before that, and your songs were such a nice compliment to that album.

Wow.
It's really unfortunate the original is lost at this point, but you recovered the week with this piece (and hopefully your head as well) significantly better than Ableton did your project. It's very, very pretty, straight out of space almost. So many cool sounds.

What a soundscape journey! Love the little noises in the background, the piano melody on top of the evolving pads just makes you feel something special. Favorited!

Every time I lose work I'm convinced it was for a reason and the recreation will be better.

What a gorgeous landscape of sound. Deep, gritty, and glittery - a perfect match for the artwork.
Glad to hear your head's feeling better! And sorry to hear you lost musical progress when Reaper crashed, that's always a pain.

Three minutes in on my first listen and I'm dreading the fact that the track will end in two minutes. Reminds me of the way I feel about a certain Boards of Canada song I could listen to on loop for hours. This track definitely fits the bill for an endlessly listenable soundscape for me!

Love that feeling when you find a nice pad sound, this is beautiful stuff, like all the little gremlin sounding percussion crunching in the background.  The extended outro is a bonus, nice!
