How does your piece use the motif?
The motif tends to travel among instrument as the track plays. It is featured in most instruments(The 808, piano, trumpet,bell and "guitar") and the rhythm is sometimes repeated in different notes or the rhythm of the motif is lengthened.

This is really good! Very moody and sentimental and the way the reverse piano swells is my favorite bit.
Thank you! I am really glad you like the piano swells too! I participated in a jam just before this one and found out just how much I liked how reverse piano swells sound, so I decided to implement some in this song!
I like the transfer of the motif across voices and you created a really satisfying loop! Echoing others that this definitely feels beyond beginner so hopefully you feel a more confident after this 🥳 if I could give any suggestions, I think you could try being more a little more adventurous harmonically (everything is pretty much diatonic in minor) and you could play with the rhythm and placement of the motif more - but that's just icing on top. Great work!
Thank you it means a ton! And your feedback is appreciated! I will definitely try and explore harmonics more, I always like when songs have tons of non-scale notes and I am kind of realizing from your feedback I'd like to practice on it more to improve that area! I may end up going back to the song file just to experiment with rhythms too!
Also, I remember you from the sandbox jam, it is nice to see you here as well!
Nice to see some familiar "faces" :)
This is a really great piece, I would never think you were a beginner! :o I love the instrument blend you chose! There's an overall really nice sense of space too and each voice is clear and balanced :) very well done!
Thank you, your compliments mean a lot! I am especially glad you like the space because it was one of the things I wanted to work on the most to do better on!
im surprised you consider yourself a beginner w music like that, well done
Thank you a ton! I would feel better in between beginner and intermediate if it were an option. I have certainly made much worse haha
Honestly my favorite so far. Amazing for a beginner!
Thank you, your compliments mean a ton!
I quite enjoyed the way instruments would echo! This track was a great vibe! Also the xylophone was great!
Thank you very much! The xylophone was one of the last touches I ended up adding, so I am glad you liked it! Also, it is nice to see someone else from the sandbox jam here!
I think this may belong in intermediate+ 😝. Great work, love those pitch dips.
Thank you, that's an amazing compliment! I did feel a bit out of place with the tiering so that may be part of it haha, I feel like I'd fit better in between beginner and intermediate; I'd say I have around an intermediate understanding of composing but a still beginner understanding of my DAW and mixing fundamentals, or I may just be a little harsh on myself. Thanks for listening!
Very good song for a begginer. I congratulate you for all the production and the quality of the song.
Thank you very much! This is an amazing compliment!
