Reflective, sad, yet soothing. Nice music box melody. The resonator and solo acoustic guitars were used well and fitted perfectly.
Did you choose the instruments individually or do they come collectively in a BIAB style?

Thanks Brian and David for your comments,
The first track I've choosen for this instrumental is the nylon fingerpicking guitar tuned in DADGAD. Then I've looked for others tracks that fit well together.

Beautiful sad chords and melody and excellent selection of instruments. I like especially the bass, cello and the resonator. Appropriate title, I can feel the crystalline rain hitting on my face (in real life, too, this winter...)

So well done!

Very enjoyable. There are several rather dissonant chords, or notes within chords, that are probably algorithmic bugs but also make for unexpected moments of interest.

J&B I agree! Outstanding song with a beautiful haunting melody. Great work getting that resonator to fit so perfectly. The cello was excellent and everything was mixed to perfection. Loved it
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Thanks Janne, Andi, CaptainMoto, Janice, Bud, Mark and Mario.
The particular atmosphere of this piece comes, in part, from rythm guitars which are tuned in DADGAD.
