I like the smooth synths at :03, but I was a little confused as to the role of the vocal sample at the very beginning. The progression is a tad slow, and the clap sample is a little cliche. I like the prominent role of the hi-hats here, but I wanted to hear a few more moving notes than I did. By around 1:30, I was really itching for some melodic content. I appreciated how you broke down the drum beat at the 2-minute mark or so, but it really didn’t help fill out the texture, which you badly needed. That said, I’m impressed with the production quality and rhythmic elements of this piece. I also liked the subtle chopped vocals at 3:37 (and other places). The composition is just very lack-luster, which is a significant problem. Good job with the sound design overall, though. Keep at it, Waidmann! ;)
