Man this gave me nostalgic feels especially when that lead synth came in. You'd think acoustic instruments but your use of more synthesized elements gave it a unique contrast that I like and fits surprisingly to the prompt. Good job!
Really enjoy the use of these contrasting timbres - from a more acoustic sound, to intense and synth heavy, to that muted/compressed reprise of the opening. The material itself is simple but your sound design choices give the narrative here a lot more depth.
I like this song a lot, the orchestration is very masterful!
Cool instruments here! Structure is a little proggy too. I like it!
Nice vibe, I like the synth tones. I liked the change in bar groupings; it felt off-balance in a good way, like it's a dream world where things are just slightly off.
A very interesting piece. The low tones give it an almost ominous vibe to me. Also, it starts in a 3/4 waltz rhythm, but in the 3th bar going to the 4th, something strange happens : The waltz pattern starts again on the second beat of the fourth bar, which was pretty disorienting to me. This can be an artistic choice. Overall a dreamy and nice song, good instruments as well.
