Ooh, peculiar atmosphere to this one.

I like that synth at 0:28, sounds just like the kind of waves which you hear in Synth Wave I think.
In 00:45 it really starts. This is a great mysterious ambient track, good balance between the different instruments and a good transition in the synths, I really like that small arpeggio and soft percussion at around 01:28, with after that these wahwah effects around 02:15.

I am not fully sure about the tone at 02:52, I think that it might have to be one tone higher or lower, but I don't know what your intention was there.

How are you producing the track? Live with synthesizers or with a DAW?

It sounds like you are going to a new style which is kind of a mix between ambient and modern synthwave sounds, I don't know if I am right with that?

This track is full of variety, transitions and interesting sounds. I like it a lot.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks! Yeah at 2:52 it was originally going to be higher I think but I liked the interesting sound the lower note made in contrast. I kinda figured though it might be alittle off putting for people. Oh well. Maybe I'll fix it at some point if I remember.

This particular track was a more live set up. I wrote the melodies I wanted in the daw and used it as a midi sequencer to play my outboard synths live while I did the reverb adjustments on the fly.

I'm honestly not really sure what I'm going for when I make music. It usually just takes form and I try to make that form sound as good as I can. This one definitely has a more modern retro feel to it, which I'm happy with, since I guess that's a popular sound right now.

Thanks again! Glad you like :)

I like it! :D
a bit repetitive thought...

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Cool. lol yeah that's the problem. People keep saying my stuff is too esoteric, so I make it a little more formulaic and then people say it's too repetitive. Blah. Oh well. Thanks for the 4.5 all the same. : ) Personally I would break this up half way through with something to change it up but I got so many things to do already >.<;
