Genuinely one of my absolute favorites from this music jam! It's so soothing...

Developer

Thanks a ton! I appreciate that very much!!

Thanks for listening :)

Yeah, this is super hip! Just a ethereal wash of really lovely harmonic and melodic motion! 

Sometimes I think the mix can muddy up a little bit, when it sounds like theres four or so things going on, so Id like to hear a little more clarity. But its a tiny little nit pick thing. This freaking bangs. 

Developer

Y'know I probably did get a little carried away with the reverb 😅 it'll be something I come back to for sure.

Thanks for taking the time to listen :)

Did you record your own guitars for this? They sound really full and natural. Another song that sounds like Sigur Ros to me. Very nice kind of chill melancholy feel!

Developer(+1)

Hey there - indeed I do! I record directly from the instrument, with a few physical effects in the signal.

Thanks for taking the time to listen :)

You really developed your ideas well, I loved how you kept with the same guitar motifs throughout the song, evolving around them.

Developer

Thanks a ton. I don't have a ton of range in my arrangements but I'd like to think I can write for guitars decently lol

Thanks for taking the time to listen :)

Might be my favorite so far. Feels like i just ended the best segment of my life and also learned that's okay.

Developer(+1)

That's awesome dude. I actually think about stuff like that quite a bit when I'm writing or improvising - guitar music can be pretty good at capturing the melancholy and the bittersweet in a way that's not quite the same as other instruments IMO.

Thanks for sharing and taking the time to listen :)

Good reverb work, and the instrumentation and mixing is spot on. No other comments. Well done!

Developer

Hey there! I really appreciate it!

I've been really making an effort these past couple of months to improve my production skills, so this comment was especially nice to read.

Thanks for listening :)
