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! :)

Thanks!
I hope i will learn something from you, and i hope that i make my tracks better at some point!

It's sad I didn't cry, but the asonance at approximately 2min.10sec. shook me. I think it would be the best emotional carrier if it was dominating the song, letting the distorted synths in the background for giving a touch of harmony (because only a few could keep listening to detuned notes forever! ;) ). In overall, it need more variety, but I'm sur you can experiment some great gems.

Very cool. I love how this Rezz style is picking up.
The background synths for atmosphere work perfect.

Keep it up! Loving this!

CryNN responds:

Thanks alot!
Yea very inspired by Rezz. :D

In general, not bad but there are a couple of minuses, the music is not rich, there are a couple of effects that do not fit into the music, the music initially looks dark but how the melody appears it does not look so dark.

CryNN responds:

i can get what youre saying.
but what do you hear here is my style of writing music. making music uplifting yet dark.
yet again the uplifting section is turning into dark one by detuning.
thx for review
