I  hope you guys find this track more relaxing, calming and peaceful than previous background music tracks. I learnt something new over the past few weeks. Setting reverb and chorus to high, and lowering attack can create the calming effect, and this certainly brings up the mood. It isn't really difficult to do so, I should have done that for previous background tracks.

There are actually two different yet similar tracks playing at the same time. One is the grand piano sound, the other is 'swirling electric piano', according to Garageband. I simply copied and paste the notes and played them at the exact same time. You can hear 'swirling electric piano' from 23:45. It has a calming feel by itself, but I feel that it lacks the percussive sound. So for the other parts of the track, I added to grand piano to create that percussive sound. Think it sounds better?

Oh and by the way, I also added some nature sounds like birds singing, water dropping, waves etc. I feel it certainly complements the mood of this track.

Lastly, hope you enjoy this track! For more of such tracks, don't forget to subscribe!
