I like the relaxed atmosphere at the beginning and the ocean wave and bird sound effects. The beat and lead synth at :19 are nice too, but I would’ve liked to hear more of the drums in particular in the mix - maybe adding a compressor would help. You could also stand to incorporate some more mixing effects, especially reverb if possible, to fill out the atmosphere more. The rest of the sound design is also really nice, though, especially the plucked strings and vibraphone. Later on in the piece, there’s a great call-and-response thing going on between several of the different melodic instruments, but unfortunately the piece fades out when it just felt like it was getting going. I love the instrumentation, mood, and progression of this one, but the composition could use some more fleshing out and the texture could use a little more “decoration,” as I alluded to above. Still, I’d encourage you to keep working on this - it has a lot of potential. Keep at it, Ellietonin! ^_^
