Very well crafted album, super groovy,  the more we advance the more stuff you added, I was never bored. Very nice rendition, good job !

Nice story telling through music, interesting combo of instrumentation used.  I like the overall arrangement you did on every track. I think the main thing to look for is your chords voiciing and progression. The mix sounded nice but because you played triad chords on the pads at low registrer it will automatically sound muddy, spread the voicing you your problem is fixed. Other thing is just to watch for overall frequencie spectrum , sometimes there is too much highs on the hats and other instruments in track 2 for exemple, sometimes its too low like the beginning of first track. Nonetheless I like all the small details, sound design texture and even some VO. Good job !

Great storytelling through music, definitely a more classical approach, everything could probably be played with a full orchestra and sound huge even with all the subtlies and ambiance. The only one i've seen going for this so far. good job !

Which I could listen to it somewhere without paying, waiting for a free streaming link.

Nice ambiance, I like the vibe alot, very good textures, mix is great too.  The one and only thing I was surprised is the plucked piano on first track, the way the track went but with the lush pads, I think its too much of a clash. The other use of piano on other tracks are fantastic. Maybe it's just a taste thing but I would've put some sustain instead of playing it raw. Well done !

Cool take, very electro/retro even a psytrance track. I like 3 and 4th track the best since it sounds more 80's and its something I enjoy in general. The only thing is after a while it's becomming rather repetitive, you did some cool thing on track 1 to get us somewhere else but I also get that this is the style most track made this way sounds a bit repetitive, the quality is very well done, mix sound great. Good job !

Very cool ambiance, I like the textures, especially in Red Shfit I think its the best of the 3.  Discovery is pretty unique with cool sound design but still follow Red Shift in terms of vibe. Ascent is pretty different from the two,it fits the space theme but in terms of whole album I think you tried others synths and approach to it which lost a tiny bit the follow up of the early two tracks but still a nice track its probalby just the frequency spectrum that the other twos are in mid-low range and this one is more playing in the highs, the arrangement still connects with the first track. Good job !

Interesting take on some acoutstic,/folk and experimental, very unique, most unique i've heard so far, super cool !

Very cool sound textures, quality is neat good job on the production. I really like the arps/ostinato pattern in all your three tracks. I can easily imagine the cosmic vibe. with some interesting chords.

Awesome arrangement, well done. Super epic and cinematic, reminescent of some classic 2000s movie score.

Very cool, really love the first track, you went all in on the reverb, great arrangement and storytelling, you also have some chord progression I did not except to hear I was fooled more than once, good job !

Interesting combinaison using hard percussions with some smooth piano and orchestral you managed to blend it well together. I like cosmic rain the most, maybe the synths made me think a bit of some 80's vibe but with a touch of modernity. Good job !

Very nice album, I like the style and the trumpet use on all the tracks. The Gravity that pulls life is my favourite very good arrangement and nice pacing very easy listen, enjoyed :) Good job !

Sweet album I like the arrangement you made on every tracks they all have their own unique thing and storytelling and fit well in the album. I like Shields Ready and Adrift the best in terms of sound, textures and musicality.

Very interesting mix up of drums and synths. I enjoyed the last track Dangerous enviornement, its really "alarming" and very unique choice of sounds and textures. There is no definite harmony or melody but that's was making the charm of the stress environement. Cool album !

Cool album, very experimental, I like the textures in Mercury alot its the most unique you have imo. Saturn is my favourite musically, its very soothing with simple and nice chord progression. Good job !

Bon allez en français, les autres feront une traduction en anglais si il faut.  C'est bien tu as mis les choses qu'on c'était dit avec le petit échange question réponse avec les vents et les cordes. J'aime bien aussi à 2:23 progression d'accord très époque classique Wagner, il y a également une bonne passe de bois à 3:22 je croyais que ça allait m'amener quelque part d'autre mais non on est revenu doucement. Je crois que pour le mix tout pourrais avoir très très légèrement plus d'intensité. Surtout les pizz qui donnerais plus de punch et quand on monte un peu la modulation des cordes pour donné un plus gros coup, mais pas trop souvent simplement pour surprendre un peu plus. 
Bravo !

Sweet and peaceful piece, almost a solo piano track, its pretty hard to pull off it didn't feel robotic which is good you played with emotion without quantizing too much. I would look at the EQ of the piano, it sounds probably a little too warm, maybe that is the effect you wanted to go for but I think getting a bit of brightness will help.

Sorrowful Departure , I like the different instruments especially the ethnic flute, it adds a nice texture to it, things to look for it the stacked chords on piano and organ, you have to spread those voicing to leave some space, the more stack the more mud in the mix. Overall well done !

Uploading on newground is a first for me. Very cool composition, full orchestral is always nice to hear, the low end are probably a bit too much stacked, same for some frequencies at the beginning something to EQ or soothe to take off some resonance but other than thats its an awesome arrangement. Well done !

Cool synth and drums on first track I like the build up but its a little slow to build, its missing some ingredients, keeping the arp going forever does not work after more than 30 secs looping if you want to keep it going add something more or go somehwere else for a moment and come back after to create some movemet.

Echoes is defintely better in terms of pacing, there is a nice story telling behidn the music, the only thing to look for is the stacked chords on piano and strings, if you change the voicing a little bit it will help the mix and tone so much, it will sound wide and clear. Good job !

Nice buildup, very emotional, also surprised me with some interesting chords from time to time, sounds great too

The most impressive thing here is you're using Pro Tools XD, jokes apart it was a very smooth piece, it sounds really nice, super simple straight the the point. Less is more sometimes ! Well done !

Sweet orchestral piece, very simple straight to the point. Things to look for with orchestral is it takes lots of automation to make them sound realistic, modulation, expression, play with CCs, velocity. I feel this is what is missing and also quantization if you put the MIDI note too close or the legato is not properly spaced it will create some weird artefact. Good job !

Very cool piece, you really went from super joyful to something more and more Epic, I like the arrangement and chord used. I think for the finale when you start the "orch hits" playing the down beat I would've like some variations, probably on the strings playing some arps or a different runs to keep the climax going even harder. The drums can probably hit even harder than this especially on the kick, the toms are fine, a bit more panning would also help getting things even wider.

Sweet and gentle piece. I like the arrangement overall it fits really well with the theme. Things to look for is quantization on most of your notes, sometimes it can sound more robotic than human if you quantize too much. Also mix volume, its nice that you left some headroom but you can crank up on the mastering to get a nice tone and volume bump.

Well done on the Erik Satie inspiration, we can tell right away, very smooth and minimalist approach. Nice chord progression at around 2 min which I supsose is the B section. The thing to look for espcially if its a tonal piece more than an atonal piece is some of the hamronization and movement passage, there is alot of dissonance or accidental disonance, not sure its on purpose or not. Dissonances can be well utilized if place well in a context but over doing it would mean the whole piece can feel a bit disorienting, so I would take a look on how to gage those properly so next time it feels more satisfying. Good job :)

Pretty wild soundtracl. way more experimental than I expected, at first I was going for an almot prog rock vibe but not at all you switched context pretty drastically, some pars was a little hard to listen in terms of harmonic and melodic use but for the experimental part it works well of course. Very unique take, probably the most unique i've heard so far on the jam.

Nicely done, I think its a nice orchestration and arrangement, the contrast between the quiet harp and big brass is probably too intense, you can crank up the beginning volume and lower the middle section, also I think the main issue is not the composition but the brightness of the mix, everything is sitting in mid-high and very high range if you can tone down the brightness and add some warmness instead that would be fantastic, Well done !

Very sweet piece, very emotional, subtle. The only thing is its the exact same dynamics until the end, you did a little modulation at the end but if you give a little texture change and change range frequencies to add a little bump and you can get something even more amazing.

Very cool percussions programming and nice rythmic changes in general but the chords and melody choice was a little weird for my taste, pretty experimental but pretty unique take on the theme!

Really nicely done, great story telling through music.  The arrangement is super cool, there is no "boring" moment or too long moments, you switch everything perfectly when it needed to be switch.  Good job !

Sweet orchestral piece, I like the overall arrangement, nice storytelling. I would probably look at some quantization especially at the beginning for piano. Also the more you add instruments with the piano playing mostly in the low-mids, getting the strings and brass at around the same range will create lots of muddinest that could be avoided just by spreading different range in the spectrum, you started doing it with the strings but they were very low. But it sounds pretty nice overall good job :)

Very nice indie / alternative track, you should look the music of Grunt. (he's part of this community) you both have almost the exact same style.

All right Doug, all your composition, I just realized there is one thing in common and its gonna sound funny, the chords et texture you are using most of the time sounds exactly  like a sitcom interlude from any 90's-2000 show, don't know why it reminded me of those but its the perfect description I have XD.

Nice hits, we can really feel the bass vibrating, very nice arrangement it fits perfectly with the theme. The only overall thing I've noticde, kinda harp to explain but sometimes your winds or strings or some sort of melody in the mid stays on the same range and or patern for a long period of time. Longer than expected and everytime I just expect it to switch to something else, you kinda did, but you're still going around the same loop. For exemple at 2:47 to 3:11. I was expecting a change at 3:00 and 3:07 but you kept me going again. Adding a small counter melody at those hit points or other instruments to constrast the change the, melody can stay the same but just a ltitle something would give you a giant boost on all the tracks. Well done !

Interesting chord progressions, I was surprised every single time, I though I knew where it was going but nope another chord I would not have think of at all. Nice play with synths for a first timer. I really like White Gardens and Respite, I would love Respite more only if you would add or change some frequencies, its always very high for a very long period, going back to mid and add some bass or if you don't want bass at least go an octave below after 30 secs it will change the air and make everything more satisfying. Good job :)

Looks like you also went and did something experimental. Nice textures, mix sounds great. easy listen, I let it play in loop in the background  multiple times and it was pretty smooth. Some very cool sound design towards the end. Good job !

No streaming link :( 

I like the huge build up. The best part is definitely after the break, its a cool arrangement with a nice and simple theme and the lush pads. I think the sax playing higher and the oboe lower would be better for this section, maybe i'm wrong but its worth a try, especially after all that build up.

Things to watch out is piano and strings together, there is a lots of note playing around the same range especially stacked chords on piano can get muddy fast and double the muddiness with reverb.  The Saxophone saved the day tone wise to give some release from everything it was very refreshing. I like the simple percusisons also, its nicely panned. 
Well done !
