Description
Beneath the still waters of a forgotten lake, the night whispers of something long concealed. A quiet, distant melody emerges through the mist, inviting us to venture beyond the surface.

I like the treatment of the piano with those trembling notes and how things are put in space here. Minimalistic approach for a very trance-like experience. The tension achieved with simple bass strings is remarkable, even though as other said it can feel a bit repetitive at the end. It indeed feels like an ambient track for the crossing of a river or a lake. In its simplicity, I feel a strong correlation to the theme, I can picture a tormented traveller and something is lurking inside their mind. Fear, mystery. Good work.
It's a little repetitive as some others mentioned. Funny enough, sticking with a longer drone can make it sound less repetitive if you keep changing the elements.
Thank you for your listening, i try to keep things simple a little too much
Hey Thomas! Very cool. I like it. I love the slow subtle yet peaceful vibe you got out of this. Solid work you have here. The piano adds just enough to give it that sparkle. I like it!
thanks you so much :D
It's a good submission.
The repetitive nature makes the low volume kind of weird to navigate, I have to turn my PC volume up to 60 to hear this well which makes it feel like a lot to listen in.
Hello ! I've put a second version with higher sound, can you tell me if it's ok now ? Thanks for your feedback :)
Very simple, soothing track, very easy listen, a little bit repetitive but for ambiance it works well. Main issue here it is very very quiet you can boost almost +20 db and it would sound fine and not too loud, you have a massive amount of headroom to play with. Good job on the arrangement :) !
Thanks for your feedback, i had the track listened to for its sound level and I was told it was good... If other people report the problem to me, I'll sort all that out :)
This one really got to me. A beautiful minimalist piece: not many elements, but every single one feels deliberate and perfectly placed. The atmosphere is genuinely captivating. Congrats, this is an excellent work!
Thank you so much for your feedback ! :)
This is a simple yet a really efective ambient soundtrack. I can picture this music in a game as it is.
Great work.
It was the goal of the track :) Thanks for your feedback
Very Ambient, very Simplistic. Also sounds like Deathdream, which is one of my favorite Genres of Music. Very well done!
Thank you : ;)
You're welcome!
Very minimalist, I think it's fitting for the ambient theme. Loved the reverb on the piano, filled up a lot of space for such a light handed mix.
Thank you for the feedback ;)
