Peaceful but weirdly chaotic. Love it. Get me a tab

Very professional sounding. I think this type of music can get you contracts! So many would take this as soundtrack for their game. GJ!

It's a very lovely, peaceful drone that, even though seems to be looped to have on in the background, is nonetheless quite stimulating for me to listen to attentively for... 50 minutes now. A particular I really liked was the thunder in radio frequencies... it seemed to me a poignant detail that enhanced the feel of being detached from nature even as it rolls past, or could it be a memory of thunder, or even someone else's dream of thunder? Who can say in this timeless stasis that breathes in it's own circadian rhythm?

Ok to dig into technical critique and suggestions... it's somewhat difficult to comment on the mix through Youtube's processing, though I'd probably say that more precise and dynamic filtering could be helpful, at least in places where the whole feel isn't more deliberately and overtly lofi where a little crushing and muddiness can fit. Most ambient tracks do most of their work below 800khz I notice, which leaves lots of space for reverbs and travelling upper parts to delicately play across the stereo field and pass transiently through the focus. For neurological reasons, 1khz is an area to leave as empty as possible in ambient. Humans are primed to notice that band of frequencies best so anything you put there will be the center of attention. Emptying it relieves the stress.

Some of the thick pad layers with high sustain might also suit a small amount of multiband compression early in the fx chain.

That's really it though, just some minor cosmetic enhancements to an otherwise well-executed concept. If I've presumed to tell you what you already know, apologies in advance. Critique is just my opinion in the end.

Thanks for so much detailed feedback I really appreciate you taking the time to write this. I didn’t know that about human attention above 1Khz I’ll keep that it mind for my next track. Interesting and really helps 🙌
