Loved this! The contrast between the beautiful pianotone and the harsher synth work really great,and the way they double eachother towards the end is phenomenal. Drums were a really nice surprise. Great work!!

Thank you so much! I'm glad the contrast did it's job well haha

I really like the tone of the piano you have - it really adds to the atmosphere you are going for. Then I think the processing on the piano further really added as well. Compositionally, I particularly enjoy how the distorted snare accented the piano ostinato, I think that was really neat. In terms of a 'crashout,' I could see the piece getting a bit more anxiety-inducing with some more dissonant chord choices. You have a really interesting balance of 'dreamy' and 'tense' and I think it's tough to get two contrasting ideas like that to portray at the same time, so a really nice job there!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the piano, 'cause just being able to record on it was probably the biggest hurdle of this jam lol. I'm also glad you liked the processing, since that's a skill (along with producing in general) that I've beem trying to improve on for years now.

I totally understand what you're saying about the harmony being more dissonant in order to amplify the feeling of anxiety, and I'll definitely consider that if I'll polish this piece into a "real thing" (which is something I do plan on doing).

Thanks for all the feedback! I really appreciate it 🙏

such a journey, love how the keys contrast with the ultra flavourful bitcrushed sound design, nicely done

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it, since that juxtaposition was one of the most important part of this track haha
