This is really awesome. There isn't even anything I would change in there. The beginning was already quite interesting then the strings came in and, to me, they really elevate the song to what it is. A slight addition I've never seen in this kind of music and I wish to find more like this. The overall progression of the track is great and the melodies just work! Good job :)

You know what you're doing. When I heard the width expand at 0:21 I was blown away, suddenly everything felt more spacious and dreamy. It got me thinking about large empty structures and landscapes, especially when the chorus at 0:43 came in. The drums have a great variety in sounds and set the calm mood in combination with the rest. Bass is used very well too. This is definitely something I will listen to several times in the future and imagine vast things while doing so. I know you're probably looking for feedback, but I have no idea how this could be improved.
