    Enya? Zat you? Well if enya ditched the vocals in favor of some really tenderly played string instruments.
    Honestly I kind of wish this had some enya vocals it would really button it up. Perhaps some more reverb or idk distance on the string instruments for vibes later on. Well played!

    The initial piano sound is kind of phasey and spacey. The introduction of the strings are really great. There’s a slightly lack of clarity of the piano against the strings – maybe more separation would be good between them. The thick and calming and relaxing vibe, you’ve nailed it here. The shift to the major section is such a good sound. The ending is GREAT.

    Very dreamlike vibe here. Piano sounds like it’s underwater or under a blanket or something but not in a bad way. It’s nice. String and pads swelling together are delightful. I like the fake out ending. Gives the piece added closure.

    This is calming alright. Very loose playing in a good way. Lotta cumshots. Very atmospheric and slow. I don’t have much to say, the playing is tight and the string arrangements support the piece well. Arrangement feels a bit static but I guess it does what it’s going for.

    Nice piano solo to open this – though the piano feels a little too reverby especially on the lower register. Very nicely balanced with the strings coming in, though that balance makes me feel the piano overall may be a touch too loud given the feel of this arrangement. Overall though, the lyrical melodies between strings and piano complements itself well until the piano fades out in the end.

    Ahh, this is one of my favorite VGM sources, and anon, you are one of the perfect people to cover it. Very soothing. I should legitimately meditate to this lol. String swells are excellent.

    The layered piano sound is wonderful, how’d you do that? The string swells add so much to the vibe, too. Absolutely top not atmosphere here.

    I wonder if a nice bassy string pad to fill the low end would’ve been a nice touch to the section at 2:05 to break the slight monotony and make that part stand out as the “climax” of the arrangement.

    Fitting title. Nice dreamy piano sound. Around 0:45 a melody enters but it’s a bit too soft in volume, gets lost in the mix.
    I feel the strings/pads are a tad loud and take over the sound. Still, this is an enjoyable relaxing listen. Good job!
