Just gave this one a listen, really enjoyable stuff! The mix of instruments and ambient is always a welcoming sound and you've done it quite well here. Nice work and thanks for sharing!

Cheers,

Nice piece of music, very assured and stately pace. The subtle, jazzy drums work really well here.

Thanks S1gns,

Very much appreciate the feedback and the site.
For me, the big question is, can drums be driving in Ambient music without it becoming something else.
This is an issue I wrestle with in creating Ambient music.

Thanks very much for the feedback, it is appreciated!

Oooooh I loved the moment the bells came in!! Really changed the mood/dynamic and made it unique. They melody contour of the bells seem to have a quirky/playful nature...I really like it! Playful one moment, then enchanting and reassuring the next.

I don't think these drums are "driving", in this track they are more like they are "setting the stage" for the rest of the instruments.

Wasn't sure about the ending.... felt like it could have done with a bit more...I don't know....just feels like perhaps it is leading into another "Part" as if it were a series? I'm left with a feeling of "should have been a little more".....maybe that is the intention though
I did like the pads at the end though. Very melancholy.
