i like the composition, overall, but the mix sound too busy.
I can suggest you to turn down the bass pad a bit.

The arrangement of this piece is quite compelling. For a piece inspired by an overhead, outer space view of a planet, the sounds seem to be narrow and closely compacted. This contributes to an overwhelming concentration of sound that feels otherworldly, like aliens beckoning to the planet from outer space. It's terrifying, but also kind of beautiful.
I really like those high pitched bells playing notes from the whole tone scale. It gives the piece that touch of beauty and urgency simultaneously. If anything, I would have loved to hear more of a sense of space within the mix, allowing the individual parts to be more clear as a whole. The obviously higher instruments can be heard prominently, though I think that has more in part due to their range. The introduction to this piece also suggests a sense of progression and sequence of events, but the composition that follows feels more caught in the moment that just ends abruptly after three minutes. It would have been neat to hear some form of conclusion. Do the aliens take over? Do they leave? The way this piece ended felt underwhelming.
Overall, I think this entry stands out in its atmosphere and its interpretation of the art felt understandable, even if short-lived.
