Mesmerized

Kind of minimalist so best if listened to just before bedtime.

Like other songs I've written this one uses an arpeggiated bell sound with a bit of delay. Don't know why but it's really trippy, at least it seems that way to me.

I mostly like the way it came out but seems like it needs something more?

Thanks for listening/commenting.

Excellent work. Mix sounds great. 

I'd add a fretless electric bass for some bottom end/pad. It could also add another melody/melodies that play off the others.

I love the sounds of the bells and the chords that you chose.  I agree it does seem to need a little more, perhaps on the low end as Larry suggested.

You are right about the bell sound - I like it.  As I was listening I thought of what the 'something more' might be.  Of course being a bass player I think it would benefit from some simple bass with an accompanying kick drum on each note for emphasis.  Not much, just downbeats and slides here and there.  I think it is the Pink Floyd vibe I am hearing, so that leads into the next suggestion, which is talking voice in places in the background with dream induced phrases.   It's a nice piece though, very relaxing.

Larry T  and Jeff thanks for the comment and suggestion. Good point about adding some bottom end which I'm playing around with right now.

Thanks Jack

Steve I really like the "dream induced phrases" suggestion. Got some ideas on that.

Jesse thanks I appreciate the comment.

Hi Bjorn

Really liked this one - reminded me of Tangerine Dream, a very very good thing in my book!

Cool

Nicely done too. Soporifically relaxing in a very plesant way,  ??  ??  ?? .  Nice mix, good definition.
