I like the cute synth arpeggios at the beginning and the energy. The sound design and chord progression are a little generic, though, and I think this piece needed some more bass frequencies. You could’ve done a lot more with the drums, and the riser at :53 sounds a little undecorated. Try automating the filtering and rhythm of the riser a little more. The melodies at 1:00 sound good, although I think you needed more harmonic development later in the piece. You use the same chord progression throughout. I like the variations on the melodies at 2:54. The piece is pretty well-structured and smooth-flowing. I would’ve liked to hear more of a proper outro, instead of just the tonic being repeated at the end of the last refrain. Overall, solid work with the mixing, melodies, rhythmic content, and atmosphere. A couple of the compositional details might need some work, but my main problem here is the lack of originality in the sound design, harmonies, and arrangement. Keep at it, Zick407! :)
