It can sound relatively strange at first since I Compose a lot of Experimental Horror Music, that's why a lot of my Soundtracks can sound more on the Ominous Side. Also, the Soundtrack is supposed to sound kind of like it's taking place in an Alien World, at Evening/Night. (Or at least that's what I think of it.. I guess that could be considered an Experimental way) Te first two songs, I imagine playing in the evening when it's light out, but then for Meditation, that's when it transitions to a more Night-Like setting. I'm honestly not going for a specific Vibe except making it sound like the Album is what someone would hear by a lake around the Late Evening/Night. The Bird Calls are supposed to try to create a sort of thing to make the Album sound like it's outside, more ambient, & more beautiful, in a way. Same for the Crickets in Meditation. TBH, if I was going for a more Forest-Like feel, I'd be using more Soundscapes with leaves rustling & whatnot, along with less water noises. I find it rather surprising & interesting that you get Forest Vibes from this! For the Night Creature Tone Patches I use, I actually make them myself using samples from Birds and/or Trees, & when I turn those samples into a Drone, it can sound pretty eerie! In the first phase of Night Walk (More like Late Evening Walk In my mind, LOL), I actually used one of the Samples I made myself turning Creaking Trees into a Drone that sounds like that of haunting singing. I tried to make it audible, but not too audible. Finally, all the Sounds & Instruments were all intentional. I tried to make the Album sound Haunting, but Peaceful/Haunting too. Hopefully this explanation isn't too overwhelming, by the way.. Nice to hear your thoughts & feedback on my work!

oh yeah sorry I’m not really being precise with my language and that’s messing up the feedback lol. you are clearly giving lake vibes and the storytelling of day/evening to night transition is crystal clear. By woods I’m really meaning trees by the lake, that’s all.
Also love hearing your process with those samples that’s sick.
