I like the gritty bass at the beginning, even if it sounded a tad dry and repetitive. The beat at :10 is nice, and I like the sense of climax into :21. The texture is still pretty minimal, though, and lacks fill in the mid and treble range. You have a good sense of rhythm and progression, but I think the composition in this piece is pretty bland overall. The production quality is good, but I wanted to hear more melodic content and harmonic depth. The dreamy bridge at 1:17 is nice, and I like how the piece maintains its ominous edge during that section. You do a good job with the phrasing and sense of direction through this section, especially with the volume automations and such. The pitch-bending and other mixing effects at 2:10 are cool, but I was a little disappointed with the anti-climax at 2:21. After that, there’s very little novel content in this piece. Overall, the production quality, sound design, and atmosphere are solid, but I really would’ve liked to see a more fleshed out composition and full texture here. Keep at it, CryNN! :)
