First off, please critique and let me know what you thought of this piece. It's the first I've officially done of it's kind, and I really like this style more. Sadly, it's not as easy to do in some regards but I love making melodies. Secondly, thank you so very much for taking the time listen. It's the entire reason I make music.

Lastly, I'm just letting out some news here that I posted on my page. I'm releasing an "album", mainly for organizational purposes, which will feature all the songs I've released so far plus the big project I'm working on. However, the three previous songs before this one are all getting reworked and remastered using everything I've learned since they've been released. All that is thanks to you guys for giving me advice and suggestions. A huge shout out to Cabbster, who gave me some 1 on 1 advice on this piece and really made the difference. Check out his own music if you have the time.

Nice track which gives a happy feeling and has some kind of fantasy mood I would guess. Composition wise I have not much to criticise. It´s a beautiful melody and well arranged regarding the harmonies. The tambourine supports the fantasy mood by bringing some renessaince feeling. A thing which would improve this track a lot would be some velocity editing and humanizing of the instruments. Especially the quantisation of the piano sounds a bit mechanical. What actually irritated me was that the mixing of the track sounded a bit to much panned to the left for me but actually I had some troubles with my ears today so it could be my fault ;)
All in all: Keep on doing nice music like this one!

Sounds raw... I'd probably work more on that piano riff, I'm not getting too much emotions out of it. But for an early work that's OK I guess, maybe I'm just not a fan of this kind of music.

It really is a tranquil piece; I also like the chimes you've used every now and then for measure transitions. Great work!

Thanks a lot for your review! I'll probably try to release more songs like this one in the future since it turned out really well.
