Description
I took inspiration in the chaotic nature of rainfall. A lot of percussive instruments seemingly doing each their own thing create the background layer of the windy flute and stringy cello that move their way through the soundscape.

Bro I love this kinda of random shit all over the place aka visiblecloaks type beats, but they do be hardest to make, especially on a mixing side coz u deal with so much in and out jumping sounds all over the freq range it do be hard to deal with. Verynice take tho

Loved the instruments and the pacing. It all comes together really well to create a wonderful ambiance and song!

I like the sparkling, aleatoric quality of the percussive stuff at the beginning. Also it's really nice to get like this sequence of "moments". It feels like we're travelling through a rainy forest, coming into a glade, then seeing some frogs hopping around, moving on to the next thing. I do feel like I wanted more of that nice high percussive stuff from the beginning to be a feature throughout; I really liked how it sounded

First time hearing about the word aleatoric, but it describes my approach to the percussive sounds perfectly. Glad you enjoyed it!

Beautiful, doesn't really have the intensity or darkness of a thunderstorm but i love your style and experimental nature

I really like what you did with the percussions to emulate rain drops. I also like the story you tell through your composition as well, I could see this accompanying a short cinematic! This was a very pleasant track to listen to!
