I have been six days at the bottom of the ocean.
I drift without an anchor, toes brushing the sand - weightless
Ravaged, not ravishing - wretched as a woeful shipwreck

Yet I have no fear of drowning.
It's the breathing that's taking all this work.

Wow.

This is beautiful :D

I really like how you used the different pads here to create the atmosphere of the track. Really simple but effective melody too. It fits the title great.

Nice job. I tried doing my own bottom-of-the-sea-esque song sometime ago, but this is a lot nicer. Keep it up~

SatoDraygonFist2 responds:

It started more Irish and bagpipey, to be honest. Then I decided the melody was to sparse and didn't really fit the pads .. and then it turned into water. The evolution of song!

Beautiful Ambient Textures

I agree with kjhsdgf, add a little more bass and to round out the sound a little. Excellent use of structure and texture, your layering is perfect and the progression just flows beautifully

SatoDraygonFist2 responds:

Flow. That's what I was going for. :D And yes, I had fun looking for the specific pads I used.

nice, flowing chords

try and ramp the bassier notes up a little to help balance the sound.
not a whole lot, but just enough to stamp the chords in.

SatoDraygonFist2 responds:

Noted. I write these songs with headphones in, so when I hear the 'computer speaker' version, it's always a bit disappointing. I'll go see what I can do.

Very Relaxing

Nice opening. I like the use of the pads in the background, it breathes life into it and gives it an environment. Awesome arrangement of the rhodes. 5/5

*bows* Thankee.
