Forgot to rate this way back in the day, I guess. Great stuff though!

gray1 responds:

This is something that is for sure, old and crappie

[Tide]

Very soothing and, well, aquatic. A loving and gentle piece with not all that much going on, which works in its favor since what is going on does its thing well. Great stuff!

Benji-G responds:

Thanks a lot man! I appreciate it! :]

[The Flower We Saw That Day]

I may be a bit late to the party here, but I'll pitch in with my love for the piece. Very calming/soothing, charming in its simplicity. As others have said, it could use for something more (perhaps a violin or other soulful string instrument?), but this works nicely on its own. Well done!

ChronoNomad responds:

You're never too late to the party, as long as you show up! ^__^

Thanks for the feedback, Mister Guado! (FFX ftw) I'm so glad that you like the music. I love working with other strings, like violins and cellos and such, but this particular track felt like a solo instrument kind of idea. Honestly, if you can make something sound really good with just one instrument, that's a real testament to the music itself.

Also, violins (except for the pricey suites) are relatively fake-sounding and difficult to work with well. I've incorporated them enough to know that other artists will usually call them out because they just end up sounding kind of cheesy, sometimes taking away from an otherwise very organic-sounding mix. Such is the struggle with digital instrument samples, I guess.

Anyway, thanks again! Guess I went off on a bit of a tangent there. Of course, I personally find the piano to be one of the most soulful stringed instruments, so I'm probably biased. (;

[another life]

Love me some deep underwater vibes.

trevor8 responds:

thanks! glad you like it!

[Whats Mean Life?]

Would definitely love a longer version. Very soothing, stirring, feels like it belongs somewhere. Some scene in a movie or game, where it can be loved by many.

AzulJazz responds:

Thank you very much!

[Evolve]

I am not musically gifted enough to offer substantial constructive criticism, so I will just tell you that I loved this and the variety. The piece and its album art are both well made, and I was genuinely shocked to find that this is still under 5 votes. Insane. You deserve better. Thanks for the work!

SkaydenMusic responds:

Thanks so much for your return! That kind of message is motivating me to continue my work :D

[Sund4y 2]

Calming and beautiful. Well done.

softable responds:

Thanks for comment!!!

[Nonexistent [PIANO BREAKS]]

This is fantastic. It gives me a solid aquatic sort of vibe, as well as being slightly old-school. This is a song I'd explore the oceans to. Lots of wonder. Great stuff!

DynamiteGrizzly responds:

Danke schoen

[Neko to no deai (猫との出会い)]

At ~0:30, was that "meow-pasa" from Non Non Biyori? If so, nice.

Babasmas responds:

yes it is :)

[Listless Drive Home]

My commute is also over an hour, I know that pain. I'm usually not this somber during the afternoon, but I feel this track when I set out at 4 AM. Good stuff again m8! I've followed, so I'll be waiting for moar

icantpronouncethis responds:

Thanks for the follow. Glad you enjoyed both of my tracks.
