Wow. This is actually really dope. Would you happen to have any stems? I kinda wanna give it a trance face lift, if you're cool with it. Shoot me a PM if you want to make this happen.
Reviews for "Lost in Deep Space"
Beaauutiful. It got a nice and soothinng sound and the melody is so nice and relaxing.
I do, though, have one single complaint about it :/. The instrument that comes in at around 1:50 dosen't really fit with the piano and the synth that comes in at 2:25. It just sounds out of place. Hard to explain it but I think an instrument that gave off more of a steel drum-ish sound would be better. That's just my opinion though.
The rest of the song is awesome and I love how good you vary the song as it progresses. You always add something new to every part of the song. the second half of the song that started around the 3 min mark was probably my favourite thing with the song :).
I'll give you a 4.5 rating.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed it =)
The opening chord progression reminded me of “Time,” except the last chord, so that kind of got in the way a little bit of my enjoyment for the beginning.
However, the synth instruments were great as everyone has already mentioned. After a while, and with the slow addition of layers, I begin to stop critiquing it and just enjoy it as I allow it to wash over my thoughts.
Yes the piano needs something like a reverb, a delay, or any effect for that matter—I don’t care what. The synths create a nice atmosphere so you don’t have to worry about making the piano sound realistic as long as it isn’t too dry in the mix as it is now.
Everything beyond the third minute mark sounds great, and I wish you could have kept that going—just wanted to affirm even further what has already been said about this part. Love it.

Thank you so much! I've touched it up even further. Added some more reverb to the piano and tweaked the EQ of most of the instruments. AND I altered the velocity on all of the notes to try and give it a more natural sound overall! Hopefully the changes are for the better! ^_^
Really great atmosphere here! realy reflects the art well, I love the chord progression and choice of synths/instrumentation. I felt more could've been added to it though, maybe some percussion or shakers when that lead synth comes in just to add a bit of rhythm. I think having some FX drones playing behind all the other instrumentation could help fill in the missing element of the track and give weight to the overall tone of the track. Overall it has a beuatiful chord progression with lots of varied instruments playing lovely melodies. The mix was well executed and you did the art justice.
Good work!

Thank you so much for the feedback =)
I'll experiment a bit with your suggestions and see if I come up with anything! Thank you for the kind words as well!
For the first 30 seconds I wasn't too sure what was going on or where the piece was heading but then it picked up and found its way. I wanted more from the transition around 1:20 after that silence although the rhythmic synth at 1:50 and subsequent build up kept my interest until I heard the Kore Player synth at 2:15. :P No biggie, at least it's used well here, to add atmosphere and not as a main focus.
The song has unusual structure, I guess it's more suited for a visual experience, I can imagine the image you used as inspiration for sure, and I see how it could become a short animation.
Lovely work. :)
