The synth at that beginning has a decent atmospheric appeal, but sounded a bit unpolished and flat. The pause at :10 kinda threw me off the flow, and while I appreciate the addition of percussion at :11, the rhythm seemed pretty indistinct. The progression is very gradual and doesn’t take the piece in a clear compositional direction. The mix lacks clarity and balance. The result is that this sounds like a very experimental track with little harmonic depth or meaningful progression. The drum beat at 1:52 helps tie things together a little bit, but overall the reverb is still doing most of the work towards filling out the texture here. While I enjoy a lot of the rhythmic and atmospheric components of this piece, the composition is really underwhelming and thin. It’s certainly not all bad - you have a cool mood and sound design - but adding some depth and clarity to the mix and texture will go a long way towards keeping this piece engaging for these 6 minutes. The most prominent moving notes in the piece occur at 4:12 with that piano riff, in a section that still sounds like a breakdown more than anything else. For each section of your piece, try to ask yourself whether it is moving the piece towards an end goal (point of resolve, climax, escalation of tension, etc.). Right now, this piece is more of a collage ideas that, given the sudden ending and thin texture, sounds neither fully developed nor resolved. Sorry to be so harsh. Once again, you gave a strong sense of atmosphere, instrumentation, and an evocative mood. Fleshing out the harmonies more and consolidating your ideas where needed very well might’ve doubled your score, though. Keep at it, ErmDJVit! :)
