Hey all, to add to my collection of unfinished break downs... I just worked on this today and would love your thoughts on it!

Your logo is beautiful by the way, had to add that quick.

Very lush pad work, makes me think of synthwave which I love. The strings coming in at 0:45 is perfection...those samples are really well processed with good amounts of reverb. I think as the track goes on though (I'm at 1:28 currently), the piano begins to be drowned out. I would definitely bring the volume up on that sound as the track progresses. I think some bass work would do well too, even if it slowly came into the picture.

That gated synth swell that starts around 2:35 is really well done, and adds good variation to the mix. I think it could've been even higher in the mix though.

The mid sections of this mix are really great, but I'm left wanting more in the high and low registers. Still an incredibly lush and chill track, I really like it!!

Haha thanks man, I wanted a simplistic logo so this is what I ended up making (:

Awesome feedback, I've listened to it again and can agree with you on most suggestions. I want to keep the piano low though- it's significance was in the beginning and that's just where I needed it (: Adding a bit more to the low end is interesting, I think I'll try and add a gritty bass to get a slightly mysterious feel. Also, did you think it was a bit too repetitive? I think a short bridge with help with the build up so I may also add something like that as well.

Also listened to some of your stuff! Love your ambience. We should see what we can create together sometime (:
