I like the tranquil mood at the beginning. The chord progression is a little cliche, though, and I think you went a little overboard with the sustain/release on the pads at the beginning. The notes of the pads bleed into each other a bit, creating some dissonances that I don’t think you want in a calming piece like this. I wasn’t a huge fan of your bongo sample - it sounds a bit generic and inauthentic. That said, the melodic content here is great, and the texture is nice and rich by around the 1-minute mark. The atmosphere here is great, and you’ve done a good job with the structuring too. The mix could have a tad bit more clarity - it’s tough integrating all of those pad-like reverberated instruments - but the drums sound crisp and clear, which is a huge plus. Overall, this is quite impressive work. Keep at it, Madze! :)
