thanks....

What I would call "reverb soup" in a different context creates a  very fitting "dreamy" atmosphere here. Could listen to this for hours exploring memories. Nice job!

The calming and repetitive nature is serving the theme well. The additive form, with additional elements populating the track the deeper it goes, also serves the concept very well and is a good musical representation of it. I especially like the calm, but momentum providing percussion.

Lovely chill piece - well done!

What a calming piece. The ambiance of it reminded me a lot of Minecraft music. I also really like the cover art! It fit the vibe very well.

very calming. especially after listening to nothing but upbeat and loud music all day, this was a nice surprise. good job!

The hand drum is a very reflective instrument and I like the choice for the base layer! The entire vibe is nice and ambient and is great background music. I actually put this on in the background while I had to get a different task done and I felt so calm the whole time. Thank you for that and thank you for sharing!

Very calming! Definitely agree re: development - but I further wanted to say I really liked the parts in the middle that were gradually becoming more melodic, and I think that could be a really cool little springboard into developing it further.

The textures in this song are super pretty. I do agree with some of the other commenters in that it could benefit from some development, rather than continually having layers added. That being said, I do you think what you have is pretty solid, and I really do enjoy the over vibe/ambience of it. Thanks for the entry!

Quite a chill song! It feels like it could use a bit more development, though, as overall more and more layers kept being added rather than changing into something even prettier, something deeper in meaning. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, though! It's very reminiscent of Minecraft's music the way C418 used to do back for the earlier versions of it, and it brings back some memories I'm very fond of. Good job!

I really liked the steel drum instrument you used. I do think the song would have benefitted from a second verse of some sort when all the instruments were in to give the song a nice change since it is the same throughout.
