Description
When my sister-in-law was diagnosed with 5th stage lung cancer, she took to serious meditation. As a musician and composer, I had never tried my hand at ambient music - and decided to write some meditation pieces for her. Sadly, she passed on a couple of months ago - but I was honored to be able to provide some comfort through music. I have just discovered this website and have heard some really interesting music already. Ambient music is a challenge because you have to resist the temptation for over-development and work with spaces. I have decided to post these meditations in hopes that I will receive some advice and feedback from the many talented composers and musicians in this community. Many Thanks!

Neat-O.
First impression: the panned, contrapuntal melodies work well to embellish the central arpeggio.

Of your music that I've heard, I think this piece feels the most natural. In other words, the transitions are smooth and the levels are nicely balanced. Also, I'm a sucker for minimalism.

This is a wonderful meditative, ambient track. Nice work.

Interesting that you should say that...
because it was an adlib first take. I made up the melody as I went along - which provided for a couple of interesting cadences.

Slightly dark
but of course is understandable. Musically speaking it is really well done.

Haunting
Simple and elegant. Altho it does seem almost too bare bones as it progresses, like a demo or sketch. I felt that after the wave sounds entered, a variation could have helped, something to indicate change, evolution, depth. And a synth wash under the arpeggio, slowly changing thru time, might help create more 3-dimensionality, like much of the New Age Ambient music employs. Some of your other tracks can get a little clunky due to the MIDI sounds you choose, but your sound choices in this track all complement the starry field spacial concept you established. I enjoyed the augmented 4th, and then the augmented 5th you use to create suspension, and the haunting quality you achieve.

Thanks again -
I was really resisting development - as it is my natural tendancy to overdevelop. Also, the music was intended as meditation music - so I was trying to keep it somewhat minimal. I could not resist adding the augments for tension - which is also probably a no-no for ambient music. Interesting that you preferred this to the others - and your advice is very informative.

This one is lighter in feel
than the first. Perhaps, it is signaling acceptance? Thanks.

I like the minimalism
Has a drifting among the stars feel to it ... lapping oceans notwithstanding.
