I like the quirky synths at the beginning and the cutesy riff at :10. The harmonic content is a bit bizarre here, with a lot of “jumps” and “runs” in the contour of the lead riff that make it a bit disorienting to listen to. At the same time, there isn’t much variety in the main riffs later on, and the entire composition feels a bit aimless and chaotic. I can tell you ran out of time to work on this, but I think the beats, quirky sound design, and cool use of echo and filtering effects are a good start. Keep at it, AnnieHer! :)

Very quiet piece -- recommend running it through some sort of free online mastering service of your choosing.

The piece itself is simple, happy and quirky. I don't have much critique in that regard beyond perhaps a bit less volume on your plucks. I would like to hear more of your bass. Something seems to be going on in the mix and it's very quiet.

Still, I enjoyed the piece. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
