Description
My interpretation of the painting - I sensed something sinister, hence the piece came out as such! But it could just be my video game instincts. I'd very much appreciate your feedback.

Very cool track, I don't know if that was your influence but it sounds very much like Age of Mythology, especially this track.  Its sounds more Arabic probably because of your instruments choice and the modes used, maybe this is what you wanted and in that way it works great, mix sounds great, compositions is also pretty chill and nice I like the arrangements the different mood and transitions you made. But yeah like I said if we think about chill ambiance and not like a true super spacy ambiance that we get lost into, this could work perfectly in background music such as Age of Mythology. Good job !

Oh man, this is such a cool track. It hits the nail right on the head - if you were going for an Egyptian desert track. Unfortunately, the theme was ambient music at the secret lake, not upbeat desert music at an ancient Egyptian crypt. Otherwise this totally slaps and is mixed well with nice instrument choices.

Very difficult to hear this, I had to turn my windows volume up to 58 to hear things clearly. 

The bass is nice, it's my favorite from the instrumentals. I wish there was a bit more of the pads / drones from the beginning and end in the rest of the track though. It kind of feels like it shifts from pad work to a bit of a swing groove for the body of the track.

Really enjoyed the bass and the percussion. Melody works great too. Lake noir!

Loved the vibe and cool bassline. When the percs kicked in I knew I was going to like this one. I don't think I caught the second long drone note but will circle back to rerate if I missed it!

Thanks David! Me on bass, so I appreciate that - my main work at the moment is being a bass player in theatre. There is an Ab synth drone in the B section, but it is very quiet, so don't feel the pressure to re-rate, if you can't hear it then it's not loud enough! Cheers, Tamir

Thanks for clarifying, it’s easier to tell once you pointed it out. Re-rated! :)
