the simplicity of the first part of this worked so well.  The descending line is a little loud - feels like it would be more effective if placed further back -- like a spice on food.

I really enjoyed this piece - one note is that the reverb on the piano seemed a little over-washy which detracted from the sound -- I liked the single piano notes early on which I believe may have been more dry?

That is a lovely vocal impression you got going. Very well done !

The sounds you chose work together very well, indeed. As do the rhythms, They all create a lovely atmosphere.  It was very enjoyable floating indeed :)

very enjoyable sounds, the soprano is a nice touch

Love that vocal patch. And the cool reggae beat. Get a bit of a Massive Attack vibe from this one.

I really liked this piece, it is very layered and I will listen to it many times finding new meanings!

I really like the plodding relentless drive in the tempo, drums, and bass

Well done. Enough said. Enjoyed listening.

Its gorgeous. The first moment reminds me of the final song of M83 - You and the night "Un Nouveau Soleil"

I think it sounds great. Really happy with it. But happy to hear why you didn't like it.
I'm happy to share the opera lady patch if anyone wants. Similar patch can come close to an abnormally realistic violin imo. Or maybe I'm just losing it.

My submission for OSC#187 - ExtraBold by Nakst

This is not music. It's a social commentary on the political situation of our federal state after the last election on September 1, and the disastrous inaugural session of the parliament. This is what you get, when you try to "let the extremists demystify themselves". Listeners discretion is advised.

Roots

IV - Roots

Reflections ripple from a distance, blurring the boundary between thought and presence. A fragile consciousness moves between abstract memories and subtle interruptions, where silence carries its own hidden patterns. Sounds emerge like whispers from a mirror turned inward: fluid, luminous, and gently fragmented by time.
