I like the glitchy intro and the airy synths at :07. The non-traditional meter was a nice touch too. The drums don’t quite sit far forward in the mix enough for my tastes, especially once the texture gets busier at around :40. The synth harmonies and the upbeat mood are great, and you also do a good job keeping things interesting with the rhythmic elements. After a while, the texture does begin to sound a bit repetitive, though, with a lot of melody lines that don’t quite feel dynamic enough to be constantly repeated for 5+ minutes. At some point, a bridge or new solo or something to break up the uniformity of the texture would’ve been welcome. That said, the atmosphere of this piece is great, and I also love the outro with the cute, echo-y synths. Overall, this is a catchy and evocative track. Keep at it, Aardvark04! ^_^
