Description
faraway lands but in a bus. Looking through the window in air-conditioned comfort. Being amazed by the strangeness of the scenery and feeling in brief moments the danger of our ignorance in this new world.

Time to vote is now over, so I can tell that:
The main saw keys is volontary crunchy and omnipresent, take almost all the sound spectrum. This is the thing I love in this track. The experimental effect cursor is sometimes too far. I understand that is the case here for listeners. I really want to generate some discomfort with this element, contrasting with clean semi percussive plucks. Thanks all for the feedback.
I like the synth in 0:50. The tone immediately induced melancholy and nostalgia; I do not know why, but cool!
I have Ethereal Earth, so I definitely will have to experiment more with it. Sick!
I like the melody you put together, but like most people said the only main issue is the clustered triad chords especially in the low ends, you create a muddy mix because of that. i guarantee that if you change your voicing and spread your chords it will sound clearer and better.
Like others have mentioned the saw has a bit too many notes in the low registers so it overpowers the other sounds a bit, but the material itself sounds nice!
It's a cool vibe, but I think the mix ends up a little harsh and kind of smashed together.
Good work overall though.
I like what you've got going on, I think maybe using a convolver on the saw would improve the mix altogether.
Personally, I really like this style. Your melody is really nice and together with the cover and the explanation it helped to generate that melancholic aura that you describe.
Without being mixed this is really hard to listen to. The melody in the background is so nice but the saw lead is really just overpowering everything else, including the pad that comes in a bit later.
Really nice work otherwise.
I like the bouncing melody in the background, but the synth does make it a little hard to distinguish from the rest of the track. otherwise good track!
