Not much running vibe but this is soothing in a way, like running away from stress. Thanks for sharing!
Really like this vibe! But I feel it's on the repetitive side, so the length probably could have been halved. Very cool drums.
The beginning was nice but felt like it could develop into a different track from what you did. The piece in itself is pretty good just repetitive, chill. I would like another variation but with a theme, small melody or something, back tracking could be great but its hard to judge the composition if its the same for 4 mins.
Nice job!😀
While I liked this piece there were a few problems with the composition. The drums get repetitive over time and there should be a few quiet moments without the drums to give the listener (player) a breather. I think that even without a melody, it is ambient enough to play as a backing track while the player is moving.
I really liked the sound of this track - the drums especially, really tight and doing the job without being over the top or outstaying their welcome. Something added (melody line?) to take the second half to the next level would have been the cherry on top.
I love the dark opening to this track, before the piano comes in. The track definitely conveys a sense of rising intensity, as you described. You've got a great start here: this track would sound amazing with a melody added on top, some breaks in the repetitive piano-drumset texture, and more diversity in the chords. Great job!
Congrats on you first jam! Sounds great! I could chill to this tune listening to coffee. I appreciate how it slowly rises through most of the piece before the coda.
