Very basic minimal ambient tune (2m 45s).

Any feedback appreciated. My only concern with it is its too basic maybe...

The bass sound is the prominent sound in this son, right?

I would make it a bit more exciting (some filtering or delay or whatever floats your boat) with some automation.

The rest is great as it is. I enjoyed listening. I have a link to some ambient myself in my signature.

thanks for comments - I do quite like it as it is but agree it does perhaps need something else. Will try out a few different things tonight based on your suggestions.
Have downloaded your ep and will give it a listen tonight.

thanks

The ep isn't exactly ambient but the soundcloud link is.

Would probably work better as a soundtrack to some imagery.

I found it interesting to listen to, but perhaps a little tedious.

There's some bass notes that are too overpowering and in use too often... however approximately 1 minute of this track would serve as a powerful intro to a main lead track... you just need to come up with the lead track now!

Conceptually I like what it's doing but didn't get on with the mix, it needs to be a lot more subtle but the bass is too loud and you lose the rest of it.

I'd turn it down and add some super-subtle pads over it.

Be interested in hearing more though.

Thanks for feedback guys - really appreciated. I've revisited the song a few times in last couple of days but not sure what to do with it. I think i'll chop it down and EQ it a bit to use as a segue from/into something else.
