Great stuff here. If feels from the beginning like a coastal village bustling with life. The drones chosen are great and everything feels very organic. The arrangement reminded me of Diablo II soundtrack at points. The mix is great with a great surround feeling, and mostly everything feels fresh and natural. Loving the melodic ideas you used, which stayed interesting enough to feel enriching but not intrusive. And you said you did this in less than 2 hours?!!! That's impressive, man. One of the richest and liveliest while also genuinely ambient tracks I listened to until now. The instrumentation is also fantastic. From the 5 minute mark, there's a weaker section with a motif which might end up feeling a bit repetitive, but then it changes to the outro and recovers its naturality. Excellent work very fitting to the theme as well.

Thank you so much for your insightful review. Yes, i knew about the jam but i got stuck in the hospital for two weeks. The night i was released, i rushed home to quickly create a project. It took a lot time to render, nearly making me miss the countdown by 10 seconds. I was in full panic mode. I looked into 80's japanese environmental music. I was also trying to play into this atmosphere as you said. Meaning, i didn't want the song to be too busy but boring either. I mostly stuck to sound cues you would hear, while paddling a boat through a village going silent at night. Passers by, water sloshing against the boat, music from the brothels, birds and insects, wind.
