Submission Description
I imagined someone who feels trapped on Earth and the life they live. They yearn to leave their average life and explore the cosmos.

Great work! I can always appreciate good piano tracks. The mixing and composition were really well done, and I really felt the lonely, trapped feeling you described. (Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the piano library you used had to have been Noire Felt. I love that and Claire so much!)
I agree with the other comment that the piano in the first track clashes with the pads, but it's more of a mix question imho. It feels a little dry a staccato. The second track felt much nicer in that regard. I would have appreciated if the three tracks were a little more different from one to another. It's a great job nonetheless!
Nice ambiance, I like the vibe alot, very good textures, mix is great too. The one and only thing I was surprised is the plucked piano on first track, the way the track went but with the lush pads, I think its too much of a clash. The other use of piano on other tracks are fantastic. Maybe it's just a taste thing but I would've put some sustain instead of playing it raw. Well done !
Very calm and mysterious! Love the ambience mix between the synth/orch and piano infront... well balanced!
