I like the delay on the piano, the spaciness, echoes and loneliness feeling. But it sounds too mechanical for a piano. No dynamics, no rests or pauses. Got a bit titing especially for a 7 min track.
i like the general tone of the piece and the piano with the echo sounded nice, but i think a little more variety could have gone a long way! it definitely felt kind of samey and i wasn't sure why there were seven whole minutes of it. my favorite part was the chord at the end! :)
I definitely get the loneliness, but it could have been stronger if the notes were farther apart and the echo effect was stronger. Also, there isn't much describing any kind of game or playstyle, just an ambient image/scene.
I liked the fact that it didn't repeat much throughout the song. It could use some variation on the velocity of the notes, more silence between the notes as well as more reverb to make it more distant. The delay you used could also be more varied: you could change the time or feedback etc, play with the parameters to make it less predictable.
Feels really busy/close for ambient music. It could benefit from more space - between notes, in the mix, something along those lines would help capitalize on the piano's ambience.
This is probably the longest single track I've seen submitted to this jam, so points for that!
I'm not sure how I feel about this one, though. It definitely feels pretty lonely, although on my first listen I had a hard time following along with the song. It's difficult to tell when phrases start or end, and there's very little repetition, which gives it a very stream-of-consciousness type of feeling - which could be either a good thing or a bad thing, depending how you look at it.
