yeah yeah hold on there mister! HOLD YUR HORSESS!!! :D
I really liked this piece. To be honest i heard piano and i wasnt too sure. But i really liked the slower pace that you kept throughout the song. Is that clapping or something that appears after certain notes? It's a nice touch. I like the fact that there really isnt a lot of different sound in this one. Everything is kept to a minimum and you kept the pace quite well through out the song.
Turned out real real good IMO!!

Hmm... first off, it's incredibly hard to give advice to ambient artists I've found... technically sure, but the feeling, I think ambient is meant to convey a mood. But, I'll give advice on both since I'm an egotistical bastard
All advice in that direction though you have to ask yourself, is it really what I was going for to convey that impression? Just because I wasn't too fond of it doesn't mean it was wrong, just needs explaining from ya.
Technically not too bad. Mastered alright, The sounds you choose work very well together for the most part. I like the wind/water sounds with the specific string patch you choose, nice combination.
The piano sounds good but stilted... very mechanical. Sounds lifeless except for the very beginning. I'd recommend going through and working on changing the feel of the piano line a bit, make it more flowing and progressive. It holds the whole piece back.... hmm... hard to see that... basically I knew when each note was going to hit and it got boring, hearing the same thing over and over and not in that good ambient way where it just falls back into your brain. The piano notes are too strong to do that, it brings you out of whatever you were feeling and back into bleh... reality.
You change up on almost every piano note too, that adds to that effect. I think some long drawn out lines with the patches you choose and the water/wind sound would be really nice for a while... and come back to the note on note effect later.
And just because I think it would be neat, going back to some harmonies and back to the dissonant progressions would be very nice. Maybe stick a very soft and lovely chord progression in there with a more human feel, some drawn out chords with the pad/water stuff and then back to the mechanical feeling later to balance it out and keep it moving?
So yeah, not too much of a fan of the piece as is, but some good ideas, post again when you've made some changes

Oh shit!!!! that was some real harsh crittics right there! ;)
I will definitly think about it...but my intention was REALLY not to make it mechanical, so in that way I failed :( I wanted it to be as human as possible with lots of emotions in it...dam!

It's good quality track, plays well. I do unfortunately find it a little too random for my liking. The notes could fit together a little better and there could be a little more variation. These are friendly comments, don't take offence. There's also something about the sounds you have used which make a slightly cheesy feel i.e the old skool string. The other strings in the background are nice, don't worry about those. With work on the sounds, variation and key you could make this a really nice piece of work. Keep scrubbing at it ;)

Oh yes, and a change in tempo with the piano would be a nice touch...

If you don't make yor own sounds then you might as well be making your tracks on ejay. Just get a mic, use your voice, or just use a software app gen then just distort the sound to how you want. It's brilliant stuff eyyyy!!!??

Saying that, there are exceptions for drums and percussion

50 seconds in - that percussion with delay sounds like Friday the 13th ;) Are you emulating that man in your avatar? :)
I would extend the piece, and take it into a a darker territory - also, I would lower the level of the keyboard instrument (is it meant to be a piano?). But I liked it! I liked the sparse atmosphere it conjured up!
