Thank you so much for giving a listen! Well, those flutes are the soul of the track and it is what represents the place, Bali! And you will hear lot of flutes in Balinese music.
Amazing work. This song has a really beautiful sound @mudhoen described best. All the sounds work well with each other adding to the overall piece and it's a great listen.
Very nice ambient chill out music. A very mystical ambient sound that really captures your trip to Bali. The eastern sound with all the background sounds turn this track into a deep layered quality sound. The choir at the end is unexpected but fits well into this piece.
I would like to use this for a film project if possible. My email address is . Its a beautiful song and I would love to use it for my project. Please let me know.
And I'm back. I know what you mean about pure love being devoid of cheesiness but that doesn't always translate into musical success.
I play some deep, far out stuff but I still quite often play something quite cheesy. I have no definite idea why that is. Certainly not my intent. Sometimes I go through and "de-cheesify" tracks, especially when it comes to slightly annoying synth sounds.
Anyway: more detail.
0:08 those first notes work well for me. Then other tinkly creeping notes a bit later and some little hints of percussion.
I think it's that marimba on 0:26 that says "playful, gentle doggy music".
And then you build your percussion. Very dry (ie lacking reverb) so close and sort of warm, perhaps a bit like puppies. You don't want to make it a space puppies track, right? I probably would have but then that's just the kind of music I make.
0:51 guitarey sort of synth instrument is pretty decent and you've also got some kettle drum rolls in there, which I like. Beat is solid and grooving now.
1:09 guitar is a surprise. Might seem a little out of place but it's playing good notes so no problem there. Rather: an interesting brief, little flavour.
Marimba sits in there all the time, almost as a bass line. Return of keyboard guitarey instrument theme towards the end and bit of strings and then a decaying end note which has been cut off of a bit too soon. Just need a few seconds more on that.
That's the longest review i have ever got for my song. I really appreciate you putting so much of your time to review this song.
And yes, i agree that we aren't always successful to translate our feelings into music. But sometime's we do get lucky. About cheesiness in music, sometimes its the need of the song and sometimes, its just the our perception.
About your in depth review, I wanted to keep the beginning as soft & as smooth as possible, So i experimented with staccato notes on flute, and it gave me what i wanted.
Yes, i did listen to some of the references on Animal Planet and Marimba was the most common instrument used for the lead. So i rejected some 5-6 leads myself which i was randomly playing on some major chords and then i finally got settled on this.
I kept the percussions dry for just one pure reason, to give the live feeling to the song. I wanted to give this song an Epic feeling but still keeping it soft.
Marimba was doing my job wherever the lead was concerned, but then i felt this track needed some instrument that can brighten up the track a little. Hence, guitar is introduced here.
I felt by keeping the marimba in the background, the song won't lose it's feel, so here it worked as a bass line too.
About the end, i totally agree with you i should have stretched it a little i feel now.
Thanks again for that great review brother. look forward to such reviews in the near future too.
Incredible! Such a gentle and fun track to listen to. The percussion part is Marimbas? Or Xylos? Or Vibraphone? Very great choice, regardless. I really am digging the drum patterns. It has a sort of African/Tribal feel to it. I could possibly hear this in a Disney movie like Tarzan or The Lion King. I can also visualize puppies from your strong instrumentation. Beautiful work, EB!
Thank you so much for that lovely feedback GO! And yes, the bellish percussive lead is on Marimba. And as you rightly said, those drum patterns are of african folk genre. I really wanted to give this track an epic yet soft feel to it, . My main intention was to achieve that. I hope i have achieved atleast 10% of my vision. Totally gratified by reading those kind words GO about the resemblance of my music with Disney movies scores.
I hope in near future, we all are associated with Disney, Paramount, Universal and many more big names.
The intro pulls us into a dreamy, far-out space. The introduction of the guitar picks up the energy and the drums keeps it flowing. Overall, a well crafted, quality track.
EB, this track absolutely made my day.....light, happy feeling to it. You captured the emotions I feel when I am around puppies (all dogs for that matter) as well, haha. I can see this one as a backing track to a great dog commercial.
Wonderful way to start my day. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and warming my heart a bit this morning. Really well done. I hope all is well.
That's one of the best comments I have ever received. I feel my hard work has paid off a little, Really appreciate your kind words and yes, if i get a chance, i'll definitely try to pitch it for any dog commercial that comes across. This comment actually made my day and this time, thank you for putting a smile on my face :)
A lovely piece of music that I will review in much greater detail when I find the time.
Intro is very peaceful and the whole thing is really quite uplfiting. Maybe could be used for a puppy soundtrack? Lots of other soundtracks too as this has some class and elegance to it.
It's very easy listening but not of the cheesy variety.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Pure love is devoid of cheesiness. isn't it? Will be eagerly looking forward to your detailed review and m really glad you liked it.
Thank you so much Mark! Really appreciate your kind words. I think fretless bass will make this track a lil jazzy/bluesy i feel, still, i would like you to give it a shot.

Greetings! Have you possibly heard of the game Stardew Valley? This type of music suits that game very well and I love it!
