What I love about this entry is that it brings out the emotive connection between the two characters in the artwork. The somber, muted piano suggests the girl being timid and I like that evoking of character via timbre. The little vibrato in the keys, too, comes across as a quiver. The composition also sounds like it's constantly changing between like a IV and V chord or something similar of the sort, and the fact that it never really resolves was a great setup for portraying this ongoing conversation between the machine and human.

What I really would have loved to hear more of is a sense of development in conversation between these two characters interpreted musically. I do, however, find the little glissandos from the electric sounds at around 2:15 to have a sense of urgency, but it seems to not lead to any consequences as the piece basically returns to the same musical ideas later on. I think it could have been interesting to show more emotion in the piano/guitar composition - the sense of initial curiosity could lead to an understanding like "hey, this strange, scary thing isn't really that scary after all".

It also could be a neat idea to (although I'm not sure how many programs do this) slowly have the piano/guitar and electronic robot sounds shift into each other. Timbral morphing I think it's called? That shift would also be a possible method of getting these two sets of instruments to interact with each other.

I do find it interesting that the piano aka human character seems to remain in that same chord progression, whereas the machine sounds have that sort of warning sound as mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Overall, this entry is very good at portraying characters and a general snapshot of the scene musically, and it made me want to know more about the "conversation" that was being evoked in the music.

Your instruments are too quiet. The guitar loop fill thing around 1 min has wrong notes.

Work on your dynamics control!

yeah

damn this slaps!
