This is the kind of entry I like to wind down to and relax after a long day in the summer. Great chord progression and synths that feel warm and cozy while maintaining that sense of being outdoors.

One detail I really enjoyed was how those first two chords build on a bit of tension - I kept anticipating them to resolve, but it kept going back to that initial chord, so it made it very satisfying once the resolution hits at the 30 second mark. The percussion is light and chill and while I would have expected something a bit crunchier and lower in frequency, I think this piece's percussion worked for me quite well.

The only main issue I have with this piece is that the lead that comes in at around 1:53 feels too similar sounding to the synths playing the chords. Personally, I would have liked to hear something more distinct in timbre, but still fit the sound design. Allowing it to stand out more (without being obtrusive) could have added more of that satisfying release. The accompaniment is already pretty chill as it is, so this is nowhere near a major complaint.

Overall, I think this entry captured the scale, beauty and style of the artwork. It is very chill and I enjoy listening it the more I replay it.

Kalviter responds:

Thanks so much for your feedback! I can totally understand the point about the lead: it was a balance between maintaining that chill atmosphere and piercing through with a melody, and it seems like I've been overly cautious striking that. I'm really glad you enjoy it so much.

love those melodies a lot
That synth really hits hard !! Good sound selection
