To be honest, I’m quite a bit torn.

The song by itself is just lovely with a beautifully written solo Piano and a stunning climax with the orchestra chiming in. However, I felt like the solo Piano overstayed its welcome a bit and felt a bit too drawn out. Maybe having it just shortened and not having the song hit the 6 minutes mark would have benefitted it more. And while the composition is more than just solid and creates a stunning feeling, it does not create that feeling of ambiance for me. I would really have loved to hear some distant sounds in the background, like an icy pad soaring its lonely slow memory. There seem to be happening something in the beginning, but after the piano finally established itself (at around 34 seconds) this something gets either drowned by the piano sound or lost completely. Maybe having some sound design elements accompanying the piano would have killed to birds with one stone.

Again, I really feel like I need to point out that this composition is stunning. My gripes are just in the context of this jam and also with my personal taste. But still a lovely song.

I had a snowstorm ambience recording under the piano, but didn't want to have it too on top of the music so its pretty low in volume.

The piano stuff would've worked better if I'd gotten around to arranging it to parts, but lost the mojo after making the orchestral part on the first few days and couldn't really manage anything else than recording that skeleton on the piano after that 😅

Glad you liked it!
