Welp, 2 weeks was a rough timeline but somehow I pushed out a song I'm happy with and still have about a day to spare!


I went for a very lush vibe with this one and did a lot of things I've never tried before as well, so I hope you enjoy!

A really nice piece

So this was a really nice piece you have here some good quality some good vibe and I really enjoyed the piano portion wish you had the piano in a more dominant role and more dominant throughout the whole track that would be a really cool idea on things but besides that this was something special and something unique so very nice work here

~X~

Lovely piano line at the beginning. The nature sFX is a nice touch too. The grouchy bass and busy (if somewhat contained) beat at :24 fit into the texture quite nicely. The progression is a bit slow, and I think the piece could use a bit more shape in general. The transition at 1:08 works pretty well, although I think the snare there sounds a bit thin and dry. I also wanted to see a little more harmonic variety in the piece. Seems like there are some pops and crackles from the nature FX or something at around 2:07 - it would be great if you could find a way of eliminating those. The mixing here is pretty good, although some more mastering effects could come in handy for you here. Luscious pads at 3:05 are gorgeous, but otherwise I feel as though this track could use a wetter atmosphere. You also might want to watch out for some of your volume levels; the major climactic parts of this track are approaching brick wall status. That said, I really like what you’ve done with some of the more downtempo parts of this track. Sound design and progression are good too, despite the slow pace. Keep at it, TimerClock14!

Big love for the feedback sir! I'll keep these things in mind in my future works! Huge props by the way for organizing the entire NGAUC and judging not only 1 but 2 sections of the KO round. You're an absolute madman, tons of love my dude.
