Has a nice feeling of cool with a bit of unease..it is a ghost after all. Minimalistic instrumentation.

Like the other comments, it's worth listening to with headphones.

Throughout the first part, you managed to build-up despite the limited number of instruments. In the second part, it slowly fades away.

It's subtle and well composed, well done.

Really great job with the minimalism! You filled up the soundscape so fully with so few instruments, it's impressive. I did think the shakers were a bit too forward in the mix compared to the rest of the sounds, but that might just be a personal preference thing. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much. I'm happy you enjoyed it 😊. I should have toned them down a bit. I was just trying to add some movement

I got instantly relaxed listening to this track. I think you laid all of the components of the song really well and it shows. The extra-panning of the shaker was a surprise. It does turn me of a little bit, but I get what you were going for, and it works. Really good job!

Thank you so much😊🙏 I'm happy you enjoyed it. I felt the panning was a fun way to add some movement and kinda act as the ghost floating around 😅

This is such a full sound. Even with headphones, it feels like my body is pulsing to the beat. Even with minimalistic instrumentation, there are still a lot of nuances that make this track intriguing such as the alternating panned shakers, the tom with the interesting placement making your 4/4 feel like something different and adding rhythmic intrigue, and heavy carved out space for the deep sub kick that makes it so my body can’t help but groove to the beat. Nice work and thank you for sharing!

Oh wow, thank you so much 🙏 😊 I'm happy you enjoyed it. I was trying to add some movement with them and imagined them to be the ghost floating around.

Super deep. I'm glad I listened with headphones because without them I don't think I would have heard the kick at all.

I should have mentioned to wear headphones 😅 thanks for listening
