I like the relaxed and blissful mood at the beginning. The rhythm is a little hard to follow at first, but maybe that’s just because of how echo-y the guitar is. I like the quirky synth at :19 and the minimal hip-hop-inspired beat at :45. Otherwise, the texture is very slow to progress and repetitive for much of the piece, and there are also moments of prolonged minimalism like at 1:08, which I feel was a missed opportunity to have a cool melodic bridge or something. I can tell the piece makes a good loop, but I still think you could’ve done a lot more with the composition here. The sound design, production quality, rhythmic content, and atmosphere are all really good. I’d encourage you to keep working on this piece. If you flesh out the structure a bit more and add some variety in the texture, this could be a real banger. Keep at it, Splashtinum! ^_^

Very nice chords and vibe coming into 30. I think things could be panned a bit differently to suit the space of your pads. Also think this would go into modern hip-hop for the overall vibe.

This may be unintentional but I also notice you adding 2 new elements as you go to each section. That was some solid advice I heard years ago. Good on you. I also think you could move away from that acoustic loop every so often, as it's pretty distinct and sits right in the listener's ear long enough to get tired.

Aside from the abrupt stop, a fine piece! Thanks for coming out to NGADM!
