Hey The Snowball Effect, thanks for the submission. I really like the sense of space in this one - the drifting textures and slow movement create a dreamy, hypnotic atmosphere that feels very immersive. For my ambient selection, I’m looking for a slightly brighter and more open sound, with clearer harmonic themes and some organic or acoustic elements mixed into the production. This piece goes quite deep and meditative, so it doesn’t quite match the mood I’m curating. Beautiful atmosphere nonetheless, and wishing you all the best with the track! Kind regards, Domas
Hello The Snowball Effect thank you for sharing this one. Beautiful sound design, wide atmospheres and textures. An emotional track. Unfortunately I feel it a bit too laid back for my more energetic selection of Organic House tunes where I generally search for more groovy tunes. Just my curatorial approach. Is a very nice production. All the best with it. Simone
While I like the sound selection of the production, I find that the arrangement lacked a solid melodic line for me. Sorry but I will have to pass on this submission.
Hey, thanks for the submission! This is a beautiful tune, really warm and soothing. Our main playlists don't really feature ambient music, I'm afraid... But hope the song does well anyway!
Hi there! The cinematic sound of the production was quite captivating to listen to. But I will be passing this time as the arrangement lacked a strong melody for me. Sorry!
I really like the sense of scale in this, it feels like the track has a whole little scene playing out behind it :) It just gets a bit too cinematic for the kind of sound I’m trying to keep on the playlist, especially with how much the arrangement builds around those bigger moments. Keeping some of that atmosphere but simplifying the arrangement and letting the groove stay more front and center could make it feel more natural for my playlist. Keep that storytelling instinct though, it gives the track a lot of personality <3

No written feedback was left with this decision.
I appreciate the pads, the score-like feel and the calming textures the arrangement brought. However, as I listened, I was hoping for a bit more development in theme and phrasing. That said, I'll have to pass for now. Thank you for sharing your art. Wishing you all the best with this release and your musical journey.
Hey there! We really enjoy that synth layering and clean production in your track. However we don't have enough monthly listeners on our "ethereal ambient" playlist to give your track a proper-share there. And we usually place a little more ambient piano oriented tracks in our "emotional piano" playlist to be honest, sorry 🙏

Hey The Snowball Effect, loved the atmosphere and textures here and I think this is a great fit for my playlist. Cheers!
Hi The Snowball Effect! I appreciate you sending this track over. The dreamy ambiance felt so soothing and feels a bit meditative. However, I’m looking for a more dominant melodic driven arrangement that have a subtle ambience, instead of the more dominant ambient textures. For now I will decline. Wishing you all the best!
Thanks for your submission. There are some nice elements in this track, and I can appreciate the smooth, elegant, and angelic production. That said, I feel like there are moments where it gets a bit too harsh with some of the bright, swelling synths, and maybe a few abrupt edit moments that glitch ever so slightly. That's just my own personal taste and opinion, though. Otherwise, it's still a nice ambient track, but just not quite a fit for those reasons. Thanks, and good luck with the release.
