Very enjoyable and peaceful! I really enjoyed it. Really solid track you have here with the piano and strings plus the wind and water sounds. Honestly, it is very smooth! I like how it comes and fades like the wind, the melody that is. I like your instrument selection as well. Solid work here! I hope to see more of your work in future jams!

Description
This is my submission to the Impressions Composing Jam: Ambience #4.
There's a long time that i haven't done one of these and i do want to be more active in jams from now on, so expect to see my name in future editions of the impressions jams as well.
Theme: Secret Lake.
I made 5 to 6 attempts in total trying to achieve what i had in mind and that's for sure the one that came closest. Also, i didn't knew about the "Special Constrainst" until like 5 days before the end of the jam, but i did them anyway. So i put some long notes -that i don't really know if they work as Drones- and tried to incorporate that good and old #4 for our beloved lydian mode.
Anyway, the VST's i used for this song were:
- Splice > Intimate Grand Piano
- Ample Percussion Cloudrum
- SGM Soundfont (Strings and Shakuhachi)
I couldn't mix it properly and i do hope to work better on it, but i also don't know much about mixing, so i'm open to as many tips and feedbacks you guys can give me.
Hope you like it! Because i had fun making it ;).

Thanks for the feedback.
I actually noticed while i was listening to other submissions that i reduced the volume of the instruments quite a bit, which, as you said, kind of made them lost presence and it didn't sound as "wide" as i wanted.
Yeah of course! Not a very clear way to put it. All I meant is I can hear the individual character of the vsts, each is sampled in different rooms by different people and it's probably better to mix each voice so it sounds like they are together in the same room. My approach to this is usually tooling around with EQ and reverb on individual tracks, sections, and the master bus.
