Hi Riccled, nice work on this! I found the pads very charming and easy to listen to. Fond of the key signature choice too. Keep it up!

Nicely done, Riccled smile It has an almost 'spacey' quality to it. Very calming, very ethereal, and very easy on the ears. I'd love to hear what this sounds like laced with vocals.

Great work, and thanks for sharing!


Cheers,

Kicks off like a Pink Floyd track.
That's not a bad thing either.


Cheers

Very soothing. An aural herbal tea with subtle, pleasing spices.

Hi Deryk.

Got a bit of a Pink Floyd vibe on this Rick. I thinks this is one of my favorite songs of yours. Well done

I agree - very much a Pink Floyd feel to it with the spacial design of the chording. Well done!

Sweepy and expressive. Enjoyed the listen. A good spot for a vocal would be the bass solo section. It might soften that sudden drop-off feeling without completely squashing the overall idea.
