The piano at the beginning is nice. High notes sound a tad harsh and clunky sometimes, but I like the strings on the off-beats and the accents on the first note of each new chord. The sound design here is great - the flutes and plucks especially. The transition at 1:09 is a little sudden, and the drums at 1:09 were a bit too quiet imo. After that, the harmonic content is a bit repetitive. I wish this piece had more melodic development, variety in the chord structure, and maybe some more gradual transitions. The climactic section at 2:13 was nice, although the mix is really struggling. I don’t think the bass drums there really fit the overall texture that well, and you may have needed to dial back the reverb and get stricter with the equalization in order to the mix tighter there. I also thought the ending was a little sudden, and that the string riff near the end was unnecessary. Overall, the composition here is very good. I think the priority should be making the structure more fluid and the production quality stronger. Keep at it, ChrisisD! :)
