I like the eerie sound effects at the beginning. There’s a good sense of build into :45, although the pace of the progression is a bit slow. The texture is a bit minimal, and the mix is missing a lot of mid-range tones that otherwise would’ve rounded it out nicely. Some of the synths also sound pretty grating in the treble range, like the one at 2:34. I enjoy the rhythmic content, though, and the production quality is rather good - crisp, loud, and clear-sounding instruments, although the balance of frequencies could use some work, as I mentioned earlier. I would’ve liked to hear some stronger melodic content at some point, but the atmospheric breakdown at 3:00 does add some variety to the texture. Overall, nice job with the sound design, mood and atmosphere, and progression. Some of the compositional details could use some more dynamism, especially regarding the harmonic depth of the piece early on. That said, you’ve put together a catchy, suspenseful, and cinematic-sounding track here, Adjeye. Keep at it! ^_^
