First track fully composed in 2021, yay! This one is kind of a mellow piece with Chinese dulcimer and strings with some other instruments.

This is amazing. I needed a soundtrack for a uni assignment for my fish pond game and I really wanted something tranquil that can be played over and over without feeling repetitive. This is honestly perfect for what I'm looking for. I'm even playing it in the background while I code and edit the game to make sure my design choices go with the music.

I just want you to know, my brain saw your username and immediately thought first track of 20... 11

Interesting, mellow piece. I can't tell if we have sub rumbling in my left ear or if that's tinnitus. I might cut it unless you center it more and make it swell in both ears -- to give more of a feeling of progression by 1:00

You've got a good theme going on, but I'm not really able to pick up an obvious melody outside of the plucks denoting suspended chords. By 1:46 this is somewhat resolved.

I want to say you have some really nice dulcimer sounds going on here. Holy cow. I wish this part had been just a bit earlier.

Interesting stereo play at 2:42. I think that staccato pluck throughout could use some more development and dynamics throughout, potentially to be pushed a bit to the back. It seems to have carried most of the whole piece, not leaving a lot of room for transition.

I'm not quite sold on the violin when it comes in. That one's not going to sound natural without a looooooot of modulation, sounds like. You could potentially treat it like a lead guitar in the mix, double track two instances of it and slightly detune one, change round robins, pan appropriately. It's very thin and flat there. I think even just a chorus or being thrown to the back with reverb a bit may help.

The next section with synth strings -- obvious ones at that, is much more balanced and lays in together. I honestly think you could get away with more obviously synthy instruments, which would completely jump over and sidestep the uncanny valley that's happening with the violin.
