I absolutely love your music. I’m using good ending in a game btw. Oh and I’ve decided to follow you even though I just found you.
Probably my best song thus far, this one is an eerie and mysterious song. I tried to experiment with different instruments and samples. I also tried to test my production skills with this one. I hope you enjoy :)
Feedback is appreciated!!

Thanks for your kind words!!! Very excited about your game - make sure you follow the licensing terms though!!!!
Nice piece! I think compositionally, it succeeds at invoking a certain mood and atmosphere. Could very clearly see it in a game of some sort. There were a few things that I really liked, as well as things I think you could improve on and/or take into consideration for next time.
I feel like at 0:24, you need some proper bass. The thing you have here is not nearly low enough and just sounds like an annoying synth pretending to be a bass (although I suspect it's because it's just a poor synth and not that you have it too high). This is maybe my biggest criticism. I like the music box aspect the melody has to it. Seems vaguely Lena Raine inspired.
I think at 0:48, you need to add more melodic and instrumental elements. You have a sick fill there to lead up to something like that and it doesn't happen! Just a small thing to keep the song interesting.
I like the interlude at 1:14 a lot. I think one of your keys on your EPiano (the bass) should sustain with the rest of the notes, just to kind of fill out the rather top-heavy section.
The kicks at 1:39 are a good progression but they kind of clip my headphones out when they're that exposed! I would work on the mixing of that whole section up to 2:27. I think the drums for here also sound a bit eh. You can really hear the low quality of the drum you have here, which isn't always a bad thing, but it just feels so exposed and underdeveloped here.
I really like how hard the song hits at 2:27, although I still think you seriously need to fill out the bottom end BIG time. It detracts from the whole experience probably more than any other criticism I have for you (that and the fact that I think that entire ending section kind of lacks a melody. Maybe it would be a good time to bring back the first one but slightly modified?) Also, I wish we got more of the drums at 3:09! It sounds super good and yet for that entire section the drums stay kind of subdued. If you have the means to create a progression to add to the pace of the song, go for it! (especially in a song like this).
Of and that unresolved ending is very well done. Ending on what sounds like a major 2nd AND a tritone. Wow! Anyways, glad to see that you are happy with how this one turned out, you should be!
Woah!! Thanks for taking your time to write such intricate feedback! I'll keep it in mind when making my future tracks. I used samples from a free sample pack my friend linked me, so naturally it's not top notch quality, which in addition to my poor processing skills, might've made some of the sounds sound a bit lame, but I'll try to improve that in the future!
Also, regarding the unresolved ending, I thought of it as a major 2nd with a harmonic minor note snuck in there rather than a tritone - it's very interesting to see other people's perspectives on the same concept haha
Once again thanks for the feedback!
the piano is pretty good but the bass at the drop is a bit too loud, other than that its a pretty solid song :)
