Love the waveform. Simple but satisfying. For using only one chord I really love that it was an add9, cant go wrong with that lol. Nice work!

Developer

thank you! will give yours a listen & rate

At first I thought the waveform was the default one that Soundcloud puts on tracks sometimes. The fact that it is the real waveform is super neat!

I like the atmosphere you built and the notes that play are nice but I think its missing something. If this were part of a larger set of songs then I think this would be great but on its own as an individual song it feels really basic.  

In general I think that either having a second track with more variance or finding a way to add more variance to this track would benefit it a lot.

yeahhh, as I mentioned to a couple other commenters down below I didn't really have as long as I'd have liked to work on this one so was a little undercooked compared to what I'd have ideally done but I just really wanted to try and do something with the theme as it was a very cool one.

thank you for listening and I'm glad you liked what's there, will be sure to listen to and rate your entry!

Sound great! I like the dark feeling this track gives, And wow that is the coolest soundcloud waveform I have seen. This was a nice listen!

Nice sounds, It’s amazing.

Developer

Thank you so much, will check out and rate your entry when I get an opportunity!

This sounds really nice, but feels more like a one shot or a pad more than a fully composed track. I do like how the waveforms shape up to form what I hope you intended to be artwork for the cover of this project.

Developer

Thank you, I only had a couple hours to get something done for this so I would have liked to develop it a bit more but didn't really have time, though I probably wouldn't have added much more as I wanted to try something very minimal.

Did really wanna try and get something done though as the theme is very interesting.

And yeah I took the waveform of a few bars of one of the instruments and tiled it for the artwork, was just something I could do quickly but I like how it turned out.

Will listen and rate your entry when I get a chance.

really cool, very silent hill sounding. otherworldly. would work well in a soundtrack as ambient music, just would have liked to hear more happening.

Developer

thank you, I only had a couple hours to work on this so it was a bit less fleshed out than I was hoping, but I did want it to be quite minimal and found the theme very interesting so really wanted to try getting something done for it.

Will give your entry a listen and a rate when I get a moment
