I like the atmosphere near the beginning, although the high-pitched synth sounded a little thin and harsh. The wavering bass is nice, and the distorted ambiance is cool. The blissful vibe of the synths is a little discordant with the angry mid-range bass riffs, but I’m enjoying the drop at 1:03 and the vocal samples. The dense rhythmic content at 1:35 is really creative, although I think a more gradual transition into the more minimal section at 2:01 would’ve been nice. I like the bass-heavy ambiance there, although I think the reverb is a tad too heavy on the percussion at 2:40. I also would’ve liked to see more harmonic variety and melodic content in this piece at some point. That said, the variations in the drop at 3:25 are nice, with a few more mid-range tones, despite the minimalism. I like how you brought that higher-pitched synth back for the outro, although the ending itself was a bit sudden. The strongest part of this piece overall is probably the production quality, with the sound design and atmosphere close behind. Compositional details make up the bulk of my complaints, although overall the structuring and texture were really cool in this piece. Keep at it, K0TiC! ^_^
