I liked the slow timbral changes you went for here. I feel like the drone style suited the subject matter and you had enough change and motion to elicit the moon’s phases. I also like that you ended where you started, like the new moon returning.

This was one of the ideas I was considering going for but didn’t have time to attack. I feel like you did a great job of putting ambiance around the recordings rather than leaving them bare. The texture throughout evokes a feeling of a lost transmission: I like it!

Thanks! Really glad that came through, I was aiming for an ominous approach and maybe an unnerving feeling approaching the moon, but when it’s full and bright, steering toward more natural instruments, romance and awe.

Your piece was great too! It made me feel like I was approaching the moon on a small spacecraft with curiosity and wonder, but a little fear crept in as you get closer. Just what my brain painted. I also really dig the bass pulse through out.

These sounded great! I sadly didn’t have enough time to record one myself, but I enjoyed listening to the submissions. :new_moon: :waxing_crescent_moon: :first_quarter_moon: :waxing_gibbous_moon: :full_moon: :waning_gibbous_moon: :last_quarter_moon: :waning_crescent_moon:

Wow, I really like the progression from each phase, especially returning to the darker mood in the third section. And the flute-y sounds peeking through at the end of the first section are nice!

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve personally struggled with not just making a wall of sound and filling every second with something… trying to learn from Thelonious Monk’s approach where the music is between the notes.

I love the 7/8 falling pattern paired with the reverb; the polyrhythms really added motion to your piece, nice job!
