To be honest, I’m a bit torn here. While the textures and sounds resonated quite a bit with me and reminded me of some artist like Kiasmos or Ben Frost, there were certain elements that made go “meh”. Not that it is a bad song at all. But I feel like there could have been much more and that the sprouts of that can be seen or heard in that matter. From 0:00 to 1:40 the mood you’re creating and the textures are top notch and are quite literally what I meant with the textures of Kiasmos or Ben Frost. However then the second part started, where the lower repeating lead entered. I feel like you could have stayed much longer on your drone and not necessarily kick up to a higher gear but enhance what you already have. Maybe add some soaring strings that are playing in octaves with a very simple motive. Or if you like to change gear, to let it evolve even more. Play with the rhythm of your lead instrument and let other instruments respond to that, like little percussions that are loosening up the vibe more and more until you let go a bit and let the listeners float and come back to your original idea. Lamenting and babbling aside, the repeating melody didn’t really do the trick for me and felt quite like a friction point for this otherwise smooth sounding ambiance. But the other elements you already have, I adore very much!
