Serene sounding.. I like it.

I really love the feel this piece has to it. I'm not familiar with Joshua Tilman, but I do enjoy Nick Drake's works and I do hear the influence. The buildup at the end was a great finish. I really liked the way you used that distorted guitar synth to lead into it aswell. I think some of the instruments could be tweaked a little better like kjhsdgf mentioned in his posts. Creating that really natural feel you are going for with digital instruments is difficult though. I think if this piece were recorded with real drums and guitar it would be absolutely phenomenal. The wave sounds are a nice atmospheric touch. You did a good job of creating a beach kind of atmosphere. Overall, I didn't feel this piece was perfect, but I absolutely love it anyway. I can hear a great amount of song writing talent in your work.

neat-o

sweet to see you're making some more songs.
instead of making your lead sound louder, try copying it into another channel and panning one channel hard left and the other hard right,
then turn them down a little to match the song!
and changing the pitch and velocity a teeeny tiny bit on your drum instruments gives a more natural feel (since people don't make the same noise everytime they hit a drum head) and put emphasis on certain beats for more rhythm.
it took me some time to figure those out, i wish someone would have just told me.
as for the song, i like the feel, the chords fit well together.
sounds good, maannnnn

I loved it

i sense of simplicity with a touch of compliation 10 out a 10
