Well hello and welcome to ccM!

This is a hell of an introduction - I absolutely love it and had to go back to Shimoda’s original to compare. Very nicely created soundscape.

The chopped up and looped piano sounds great - and with the addition of the other “voice” later it creates a perfectly beautiful song.

Nice work - hope you stick around to share more work.

P.S. - it would be really interesting to hear more about how you created this track.

Oh, no! Colab is not the only one!! I also dig this one a lot, it reminds me some minimal work like Terry Riley, or Curtis Roads, and some granular plug-ins I have in Audiomulch. Curtis Roads introduced to me to sparse music and “clouds”, I’m pretty happy to find one in here! The piece is great sounding, there is a genuine research on experimenting with sounds, with very good results. keep on!

Thanks for just happening to find my piano doodling. I’m glad you took the time to find us here and drop some experimentation with something I dropped here as well. As the others said, you get many tastes here. I am not a dance track remixer but appreciate all the talents here from all perspectives and production styles. Let the ideas flow.

My headphones pan with the feel of a gentle but active keyboard. The minimalist repetition appeals to me.
The pace of things is a bit quicker than I’d like—I keep thinking this one would benefit from a lower bpm, so that one could absorb spaces and silence between the lines.

The way you blend in the little melodic elements as its goes works very well. Sometimes I’d like to hear the new things blended in a bit “up” in the mix, or perhaps for you to add mystery to the mix by blending some sounds “up” and some sounds down-volume.

The piece wears well—it really is a “close your eyes” headphone piece. The change of pace/change of sound at 3:15ish works very well. The vaguest hints of intentional glitch work nicely.
The steady piano line is very nice—at 4:05 we’re in a groove more jazz than ambient, and I like it very well. I’m glad you’re keeping the instrumentation light, and working with the loops you have here.

Nice integration of new tones at 4.30ish. You’re finding new ways to keep this one lively in an ambient exploration. I really like that melody which is bouncing in front of the loop.

I think I’d have aimed this one for 4 minutes rather than 7, although in ambient, of course, one might find these ideas extend over even an hour. I just think that it’s fun to savor these ideas, and then let them float on.
But this is not to demean the lovely things you have going on here, particularly in the second half.

I love “Cauliflower clouds”, http://www.flickr.com/photo... whereever they arise—and your mix is a nice stare up into an cloud-rich sky.
