I like the haunting ambiance at the beginning. Sounds like you took a vocal sample and then heavily manipulated the tempo. It’s actually a bit hard to get a sense of flow to the piece since the pulsing synths oscillate in tempo so much. The beats are cool, and I like the sound design a lot, but the progression is pretty slow-paced and the texture is minimal enough that I get a bit restless after a while listening to this. I know you’re a really talented producer, Embyeee, but the composition and arrangement just needed a bit more fleshing out here. For what it’s worth, I think this would be great background music for a horror-themed game or something, especially if you doubled down on the mixing effects and atmosphere. Still, really creative instrumentation and engrossing mood here. Keep at it, man! ^_^
