Love the spacey vibe at the beginning and the quirky meter throughout. The pads sound nice and bright, and the addition of the guitar at around :55 is a nice touch. The piece can be pretty slow to progress at times, but when the melodic content breaks through at 1:28 it sounds absolutely euphoric. The distortion effects and the killer sound design help keep this piece interesting. I especially love the cello at 2:30. The somewhat melancholy conclusion to the piece (besides the last chord) is a nice contrast from earlier on. Overall, a great start to 2024, LAPSE! Keep it up. ^_^
