Oh i could just lay back into this all day long and just sleep and rest and relax and dream and feel.
I admittedly started getting a little emotional...cannot really explain why.
To make someone emote with something you created - i think that is the ultimate mark of excellent art.
That fluttering melodic arp/pad on top of the super-soft saw or whatever is carrying the light melody - those two go so well together.
the ancient vocal sample - the way you use them make me think of being in the Fallout universe and an old advertisement still blares through a PA system someone forgot to turn off 100s of years ago, barely audible and completely degraded but so loud and enthusiastic and sure of itself...all playing in a destroyed decaying supermarket.
you do ambient so well with awesome bits of sounds coming in here and there at the right moments to keep the listener engaged but always keeping us 'in the zone', aka that just-right place of dreaminess.

Sounds like we're being sucked into a whirling dreamworld of strange sights and sounds. A bit forbidding, a bit lovely. Love that whirling synth and those ethereal sounds!

I love samples in songs! Super lush and that underlying synth riff holds it all together..cool

Some lush and full sounds in here, the brassy sounds swell nicely with an air of grace, like the bouncy sounds that keep the track bubbling along.

well this is lovely - really enjoying the lush string pads floating over the hypnotic ambient synth patterns... beautiful

your production is so fun and creative, i love that you used such a peculiar sample to form the song around. and the soundscape you created is so lush and rich, looking forward to hearing more of your work!

The treatment you gave this found audio makes it sound so dang epic. Nostalgic, foreboding, kinda reminiscent of the original Bladerunner. Would fit perfectly in an Adam Curtis documentary. Felt like a beautiful tribute to lost innocence.

Excellent moment at 2.20 when the big Vangelis synths come in, very dreamy

O yes. This is exactly my speed. I’ve also been public domain diving…it’s super fun. Loopy pro seems cool. I bought it recently but tend to gravitate to koala on my phone. This has inspired me to learn loopy pro. Thanks!

Most enjoyable. National Film Board vibes!

This may have induced some chemical flashbacks in me lol! Trippy. Love the transition from the commercial to the synth swells. Gorgeous tones you have going on there. This one is a beauty

I don't know what is a centifugal toy....a tiny spin dryer?
It sound like it float around the house dispensing joy and good vibes.
It's the way to attract girls when you a boy.

This is a fever dream! I love the textures of the synths. Really beautiful!
