Description
The jam artwork that inspired this music captivated me with its depiction of the sunrise - of new life and hope. That’s exactly how this composition was born: the very music that marks the beginning of a new day and a new sun.

Sound design wise is super nice, all those reversing tiny highs all over the place are very good.
Thank you!
This makes a wonderful ambient track; It's relaxing, simple, but effective in composition. At 1:53, I think a light whoosh or pad leading into the change could've made the shift a bit more impactful and brought more variety in the track. Great work!!
Thank you ^^ Yeah, the suggestion about a small whoosh for a shift sounds interesting!
This was really pleasing to listen to, the melodies are beautiful! I like how it takes you on a nice little emotional journey. Awesome job
Thank you for such a warm feedback!
Wow, very sweet! Got Ghibli vibes the moment I listened. This is great and subtle. I love the piano and violins coming and going. Just as FoxHyode, mentioned though, there were not many dynamics in the song. Which I am guilty of doing also. Very good theme and submission overall! Loved it. How did you get the notes to sound like they were going backwards?
Thanks for the feedback, I'm really glad to hear it! Also thanks for a suggestion about the dynamics, it'd be really nice adjustement that could make a track more interesting!
About the backward notes, it's a kontakt library called mallet flux and it has such sounds)
Your welcome! Yours turned out really well! Yes, dynamics can make songs way more interesting!
Aww Flux, now that is cool. I will look for it. Thank you!
Very sweet piece, very emotional, subtle. The only thing is its the exact same dynamics until the end, you did a little modulation at the end but if you give a little texture change and change range frequencies to add a little bump and you can get something even more amazing.
Thank you for the feedback and for an advice! It sounds as an interesting suggestion and I'll definitely try it out!
Very emotive and cinematic. You kept the composition centered around one melodic idea, so when the shift near the end happens, it hits hard. The restraint you showed with incorporating the synths was amazing, they add a perfect amount of texture without distracting from your ideas. Beautifully mixed and arranged.
Thanks a lot for such a feedback! I really glad you've found my music emotional!
