I like the smooth guitar riff at the beginning, but the panning was a little heavy. Especially since the texture of this piece is pretty minimal, it’s probably a good idea to keep most elements of the mix front-and-center. I like the moodiness and progression, although I would’ve liked to hear some more prominent melodic content and a richer texture at some point. The atmospheric content seems a bit repetitive; it sounds like it’s playing the same riff of feedback over and over again. I also thought the pause at 2:10 was a little awkward. Overall, solid work with the sound design, production quality, and mood. I think the composition needs some more variety, fill, and sense of shape at times. Keep at it, Spikel! :)
