I think there’s been a copy-paste glitch with the links here… At first, I thought it was a weird coincidence that several entries had somehow picked the exact same artwork. :smiley:

Lol thanks David, copy paste redo! :stuck_out_tongue:

I enjoyed hearing everyone’s entries. I had every intent to have an entry, but it didn’t work out.

I too did not have the time to get one in I am in the process of learning music and composing
and very new to ambient sounds scapes

The problem for me was I know we are supposed to keep to certain rules in ambient sounds scape a lot of them sounding really good in their own right :wink:

I think it’s interesting how diverse these tracks are - it shows how wider genre ambient can be.

Think I set myself a difficult task in limiting myself to using one sample and doing sound design but pretty pleased with the end result.

Some amazing entries- wish I could do tracks to that level - feel like I’ve barely started to learn especially composition and orchestration.

Thanks everyone for some amazing inspiring music
