Loving how full it sounds. Rich layering and compact sound. The delays on the "droplet" attacks work very well to convey the sense of space and water. I find the pause to start the percussion a great way to insert some dynamics and the ominous drone at the end is great .

Description
Lakeward City is not a large city. It’s about as small as a city can be without more appropriately referring to itself as a town. You could be forgiven for mistaking it for a village. But it proudly insists on being a city, and its residents are as proud of their home as they are of the vast lake from which it derives its name. The lake sustains, nourishes, inspires, and scares the proud people of Lakeward City. They depend on it and love it even as they fear the vastness of its mysterious depths.
Situated at the western base of a northern extension of the great Western Mountain Range, the Lake (because that’s the only name it needs) is rumored to be either deeper than the ocean itself or, perhaps, infinitely deep. At least, no living person has ever been able to find the bottom of the Lake with a trawl, rope, or anchor, not once they’ve gotten away from the shore.
The fish in the lake are plentiful and the fisherman wake up early to do their jobs with respect and dignity, always careful not to take too much, and always careful to keep their Lake clean. They never stay on the water past sunset. Boats that do have a tendency to vanish.
"No One Knows How Deep It Goes" is a piece of ambient instrumental music that explains the love, respect, and fear the people of Lakeward City have for their Lake better than words are able.
