I kept expecting this to go somewhere bigger, but then I realized that it really didn't need to. Really enjoyable and some very pretty parts. Really liked how you made the chords and melodies fit together at parts

I've been taking some to go through some of the submissions. I know I've come across this one before but I don't recall properly listening to it.

*sigh*

I'm just staring at my fingers dumbfounded trying to think of what to say with more than one word. But I can't.

Beautiful.

The mix is far from perfect, but the idea is fitting. I wish the crackling sounds and glitching was a few dB quieter. They're so clear in comparison to the rest of the track, it detracts from the smooth desolation of such wide, open space. I would say this fits the artwork well, and I appreciate your thoughtful, minimalistic writing. Your use of space was well thought out aside from the glitches. Will be in my considerations, for sure.

Wanted to wait to review this till I had several listens, because initially I was drawn with excitement and intrigue upon the first listen. The true test is whether there is something to return to with anew sense of interest. The mix, although not perfect, works really well, and the arrangement, although, simple, is brilliant. My one critique is the choice of single notes of the piano at 3:51 and at .44. It's a bit too naked for my taste, musically speaking, but it makes sense along with the artwork. It does set the mood of isolation. However, it's in the choice of notes just hovering around a chord as opposed to having its own melodic contour that one would follow. If would you have done the latter, it would have been more interesting in my opinion-- of course, that's all what this is anyway. But the sound design, and progression is quite interesting, and as one could see in the comments, heart-wrenching as well. At 3:28, I'm reminded of other minimalist composers with the arpeggiated piano and strings. The relationship between the two instruments is what takes the cake for me. The atmosphere of the strings of the beginning immediately grabs the listener's attention, and with the synth and bass at 1:15 bringing us along it's intricate journey keeps us interested throughout. I suppose, I really wanted to say that you have 3 really interesting and distinct sections that you have created all within a limited arrangement, and it works beautifully.

Wow this got to me.
