Nice atmosphere, very sweet.

Execution wise, I think the tracks were a little dry. Part of creating cleanliness and wetness at the same time is having some elements having less reverb that are more forward, while other elements are wetter and more in the background. Closer things have more delay between the sound and the beginning of the reverb (think like a person in front of you the sound hits you really fast before it travels to echo and reach your ears).

Great work, great vibe. Well done! :)

Lovely atmosphere! All those little motifs are so nice! The natural ambience does so much for th- AHHHHH THAT TREE IS FALLING

ahem

Great submission!

I really liked the orchestral colors used here, so chill ! 

And yet there's some sort of melancholy through all the track, loved it !

Well done, I had a very good time listening to your submission !

I love the combination of everything here. Hearing those birds in the background really puts you in the right mindset. That tree falling down was especially poignant.

Some really nice transitions! I like your use of the orchestral palette and foley too! A lovely piece. Very chilled!

I enjoyed the song, I always read the description before or when listening to the song, and I did not feel a painful ending, I did feel I needed to overcome something on that (awesome btw) shift around 1:30, but I don't think something wrong with the composition, actually the initial build up really feels like a new beggining, a birth of a settlement, but comes a bit short on the description.

I also think, although very fitting for the painting, the song feels lost, with no real place, and not only would have loved to hear more tracks but also I think it would have been beneficial to this ones overall feeling.

But I do understand well the hardships of little to no time...

Great job, take care :)

thank you! i always have this "doomsday" type of thought at the back of my mind, no matter the music i make, so i felt the description suits the whole idea of painting series. would've loved to make more, but didn't have the time to create the full "story".

So relaxing I love it! Felt like a great beginning to the nation. Sad you didn't get to make more than one song. I think you would have done great.

thank you so much! i initially was aiming for the hard mode, depicting the whole empire, but didn't have enough free time to do so. might still try it some time in the future!
