Very interesting take, is for sure is unique compared to other subs, a bit more active than usual ambient situation but it defenetly fits the theme, verygj.

Bass is really awesome. Super awesome synthy bass. Really enjoying this.

I guess to make it a little more ambient, I might push some of the elements farther back in space. But I think it still works as ambience in the right context.

Great work!

Love the texture and glitchiness of the track!

Great use of instruments here! Wow very powerful! What a kick you put into this one. Hey I use Ableton also! It is a great DAW.

Had a blast listening to this submission ! I had mixed feeling at first because of the chords, which I think are a bit much in the sense that they sound like you were trying to do polyphony, however they started to make sense with the rest of the instrumentation.

The drums and bass are super juicy, well mixed, well saturated and the song progresses in a very satisfying manner. I love that unresolved ending too. The only thing that really bothers me is the beginning with those chords, they sound really odd without the context and it really impacts the overall listenability.


Otherwise, I like how you represented the oppressive and massive athmosphere of the painting with your sound design and time signatures. Sounds like a chase in the abandonned shipwreck in the painting.

Good work !

I like the dangerous vibe this track gives off, I kinda wish it was a bit longer though, like adding a break in between where it gets real ambient. I like your digital and tech approach to your track, it gives off finding some sort of ancient technology in an ice cave.

I'm really enjoying this entry Pablo! It feels like a track that knows what it wants to do and evoke and it gets it across super well. It may not be the most "ambient" track but I like how it fits the theme overall, I think a lot of the instruments and sound choices fit a frozen wasteland, with an atmosphere of dread almost. Very cool!

HEEEEEEELLLLL YEAH! The Cult of the Lamb inspiration got thru quit well!

Really dig those synth tones. And that groove. Man, this is just great.

My only gripe isn’t even in the song in the description. I would argue the meter of the song is more like 12/8 with your first 30 seconds split evenly into 2 times 6/8 and after that in groupings of 7/8 and 5/8. But this is just a technicality and most likely something to argue about :D

I liked it! But it’s a little too sci-fi futuristic lab feeling, especially with the pulsing laser sounds. Cool either way, though.

Certainly not what I was expecting from the image and being ambient and all, but I did like it, from the title I could imagine this as the track for a Metal Slug lvl
I think you have some uncontroled freq. (maybe the bass/synth) not sure, but first listen kinda hurt my ears a bit
Good job, thank you for sharing! Take care :)

Pretty far from ambient, but it's certainly not a bad track. I don't feel like it fits the theme at all either. It's a pretty tech heavy track that's primary focus is the synth leads. I think had the track played out much slower with more of a focus on the pads and fx it would have been a closer fit to the ambient theme. The mix itself also feels a bit thin, some dynamic ranges would have helped a lot.

Either way, great composition here. Good work.

Love that fast repeating synth sound, adds a lot to the feel of the track, although maybe a bit too aggressive for the theme image (went a bit too bombastic too myself 😅 )

Good work!
