Interesting texture at the beginning. The quiet choir voice in the background vibes well with the minimal beats, and I like when the creepy ambiance started fading in at around :23. That said, the minimal mid-range bass at :32 didn’t do much for me without some atmosphere to back it up, and I think it would’ve been appropriate to use more prominent percussion in this section too, at the very least a hard-hitting snare. There are a lot of fun harmonic and rhythmic ideas in this piece, and the vocal samples add some nice flavor, but overall the minimalism, gritty synths, and somewhat generic arrangement make the composition pretty underwhelming in this piece. The production quality is pretty good, although mixing is relatively painless with so few instruments in the texture at a time. Also, the vocal sample of Nelson from The Simpsons at the end is almost certainly copyrighted. There are some good ideas here. I like the structuring, rhythmic elements, and thematic content. The composition just needs a little more fleshing out. Keep at it, Aracnofobia! :)
