I like the ominous percussion at the beginning and the didgeridoo. The sound design here is excellent, and while the mix is a bit wide for my tastes at times, the texture has a rich, airy feel that helps enhance the quality of these samples even more. The progression is a bit slow-paced, but it aids the air of mystery here. I would’ve liked to hear some more prominent melodic content earlier in the piece, but the guitar solo at 1:51 helped fill that role. The string synth at 2:02 is just haunting, and I love your style of composition and how it weaves together different melodic lines. At the same time, there are rarely any moments where the instruments get in each other’s way, although perhaps you were close to doing so at around 3:00. The arrangement of the piece feels a little drawn-out, and I think there’s room for a little more structuring in this piece. The ending doesn’t feel particularly conclusive, and given the flowing nature of this piece it sounds like you’ve completed one broad phrase. I’m not even sure that’s a bad thing, though. Very unique arrangement and composition here, Syamori. Keep up the good work! ^_^
P.S.: Is there somewhere I can download this?
