A lot of motion for a single ambient track. It's not really giving Japanese with the 808 toms and synthy bass, but it's not a bad track at all.
Based on the DAW screenshot it kind of seems like you just took existing loops and attempt to write over them, which works totally fine but you need to write for loops like that instead of attempting to write over them and hope they fit what you're creating.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and leave your thoughts!
Just to clarify one thing: I actually didn't use an 808 tom at all! The percussion was built from acoustic percussion loops. Hearing that it sounded like a synthesized 808 might be due to the heavy reverb I put on it—it was really interesting to hear your take on that!
Also, rather than just writing over a loop, I thought it'd be fun to EQ-split a few different loops across frequency bands and stack them together just to see what would happen (💦
I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on the mix and overall atmosphere. Thanks again!
