Really like the embracing sound design and filling instruments that give a chill vibe reverberating. The vocal honestly really hampers the song rather than add to it, I'd suggest Keeping it, but maybe play it for a little shorter. and that point where it is just that string lead at about 2:44ish, it's an unfitting emptiness, but I do think the song all together just sounds really nice all over.

Thank You Psychosis for listening and for the feedback man!  It was my first attempt with an extended vocal, and I feel it is easy to get carried away with Alan Watts haha.  I am glad that you enjoyed the overall track though. :)

This is beautiful man!  I'm completely blown away by your sound design as well, especially the higher frequencies!  I'm in love with your pluck in the intro and if you don't mind sharing would love to know how you achieved that almost percussion style sound that is giving the plucks that "tock" sound and adding additional texture to it.

For critique, perspective and opinion is a funny thing because I thought the vocals were great and the intro section really resonated with me and set up the mood for your vibe.  While I thought the intro vocal section was perfect, my only other thought would be to consider shortening the additional vocal sections after that so that they act as a very quick switch up in the song instead of entire sections, which may help the energy flow and general arrangement. 

Incredible work on this, looking forward to hearing more of your music :)

Thanks for such nice words RoboDrop!  To achieve the plucky "tock" sound you are referencing, it was quite simple actually!  It is just a piano (any piano plugin) that has been filtered with a small amount of reverb, and pretty heavily delayed and then EQ'd.  This allows for the bouncing around effect of the notes.  I hope this is helpful, as I feel this explanation gives a good starting point for you to improvise and make your own unique pluck sound.

I am glad that you enjoyed the intro, as a lot of my real life friends also said that the intro speech/vibe was really moving for them.  Thank you for the feedback, and I will certainly take it into consideration for any future songs I do that could be similar (speeches). 

Thanks again for the kind words, for listening to my music, and for your thoughts :)

Hmm when I listen to it I really think the mix could be done a bit better, for me it seems like the bass and the synth are the main elements but they are not coming through as much as they should in relation to the other elements (like the vocals in the background) it all kind of sounds like the same volume to me. What do you use on your master chain? it could be either the mix or the master depending on what you use to process

Hey bloodbit, thanks for stopping in and giving it a listen along with the feedback!  I would agree, the mix could be done better as I am still learning and working to improve.  In the master I am just using Maximus and the Limiter.  I intended for this song to be a little more "8track ish" sounding because of the Alan Watts lecture, which is from quite a while ago.  In the voice recording there was quite a bit of white noise or static so I wanted the track to feel sorta "lo-fi".  I have other songs that have much better sound quality as far as clarity and loudness.  :)
