There are plenty of compositional changes compared to the previous track! I like how you managed to do a completely different writing with the same arrangement. This work feels a bit straighforward, mostly because of the rhythmic chords and drum lines. I think drums is the weak part of this work. Although you have some short breaks, the main pattern is too simple for repeating it, and there are almost no pauses, especially at the first half. The drums closer to the end (except for 2:33), however, are written pretty-well for my taste.

As for main melodies, I have no complaints about the first minute, different rhodes melodies blends well, but the one on 0:51 (and 1:42 also) feels a little out and needs countermelodies support or small changes, as it is very simple compared to everything else. I approve the mood change, however. As for chords, the progression is nice, and you chose a good offset for chords themselves, but again they are repeating too much, and the rhythm changes or pauses may improve it a little.

I really like the 1:59 part, especially the little modulation on 2:11. However, I have some complaints about the next part. Firstly, the rhodes go a bit wild with chromatic notes here, compared to rest of the song, and sometimes it doesn't fit well imo. Secondly, closer to the end, the main melody goes too high, and again in doesn't blend well to the everything else, as there were not many high register melodies. Also, I wished for more small arrangement details here, like the quiet glissandos you used earlier (2:07, 2:12). After this part there is an abrupt transition on 3:06, which was completely unexpected. I think it was a smart decision to finish the song with one of the previous parts, but the transition could be a lot better.

My instrumentation thoughts didn't change, I still think that it's decent, but could be more complex. I think layering different rhodes patches partly or alternating them in the long melodies would fit well. Also, I didn't like the usage of ride here, and sometimes drums feel lost in the mix.

Overall, I liked the idea of this track, and the composition is pretty well-made, with many interesting choices. My main complaint about it is the structuring, as sometimes the parts doesn't blend and feel abrupt. Also I think there is potential for improving the composition and arragement. Thanks for coming to NGUAC!

Love this jazzy feel. The whole composition has this sort of walking feel thats accentuated bty the chord stabs, but goes wild with the rhodes and synth lines. Love this and good luck in the competition.

Wooooah

oh god I love this
