came back to this, forgot how much of a banger this is. the perfect balance between chill and energetic is what I like about this so much.

Perfect for relaxation (except towards the last minute or so) and gives it a nice night time mood, like Xtriua said! :)

I like the atmosphere at the beginning. It has a very dreamy and pensive vibe. Nice and spacious mix and good use of reverb during the first minute or so. It’s rather slow to progress, though, and by 1:20 or so I’m really itching for some more textural fill and melodic content. You have a good sense of harmony and flow, but the piece lacks a strong sense of direction sometimes, as the pacing is very slow. Instead of having a sense of continuity for long stretches of time, I’d suggest doing more with phrasing, dynamic contrast, and filtering. The mixing and mastering is pretty solid, and the sound design is refreshing. My main problem here is that the piece needs more shape and variety. Keep at it, Strykur! ;)

8/10

This starts out sound like a forest temple.
Including the actual Forest Temple itself.
Ocarina Of Time version, not the superior Twilight Princess version.
This could even be world music or just play in a specific area of the adventure.
I'm getting a Kingdom Hearst 2 vibe with this.
This does kinda sound like Utada Hikaru's Passion/Sanctuary a bit.
Maybe this could be used as a Gummi Ship route.

Lots of reverb/delay, protruding bass, this would definitely qualify as some good old liquid DnB!

I would suggest increasing the total reverb/delay on all of the instruments individually, or on the send bus if you have one to make it have that much more liquid. Also, a slight decrease in the sidechain level to allow those instruments to break through a tad more would be perfect.

All in all, great job and keep up the good work!
