The percussion at the beginning is cool, and I like the mysterious synth patterns at :06. Nice job with the bass riff at :22 and the atmosphere. The drums sound a tad generic, and the texture doesn’t quite come together in a particularly rich way until the very end. Even then, there’s room for some stronger melodic content and additional structuring here. I’d love to see you flesh out the composition more here, as well as create some more gradual transitions and build-ups to maximize the emotional appeal of the piece. I also think the bass could be a bit louder during the final climactic section. That said, I enjoyed the strong production quality, sound design, and rhythmic content here. Keep at it, EdKempeper! :)
