Thanks!

Sounding decent/good. On an acoustic this would sound way better though.

Very Good! As good as a lot of writing you'll hear in modern film. The piece has a distinct beginning, middle and end yet  unified in the underlying harmonic pallet, all dissonances resolving in an expected and agreeable manner. The rhythmic schema made a smooth low-intensity arc from beginning to end.  I think it accomplishes the stated goal of finding and allowing the listener to find 'tranquility'. If I were to analogize this piece as a food I would classify it as a dessert topping. Who doesn't love dessert toppings?

Now your challenge. Write another piece, in this style, but title it Overcoming Despair. 

Listen to these pieces, Bach Prelude No 1 in C major from the Well Tempered Clavier book 1.
Chopin E minor Prelude taking note of how each piece, especially the Bach, engages the listener with drama with a simple rhythmic pallet.

Best wishes for your future works.

Has a nice undulating accompaniment and strong melody. I could imagine it appealing to those familiar with Einaudi or Michael Nyman.  It also has a strong contemporary feel without being too modernistic. Would like to hear something else that explores some diversity between major to relative minor key. Good luck with the next one. Jon.
