I like the cute synth riffs at the beginning and the crisp drums. The piece is a tad slow to progress, but there’s a good sense of climax into :34. The arrangement of the piece feels a bit formulaic, though, with major changes only occurring at 8-bar intervals for most of the piece, and despite the full texture there’s not much harmonic variety or melodic content. I liked the breakdown at 1:59, but it might’ve helped give the piece more shape if you cut out the drums and doubled down on the atmospheric content. There isn’t a lot of dynamism in the composition later in the piece either, and honestly it sounds like a straight copy-paste of the first half, besides the variations at 3:25. I also thought you overused the stop-start transitions, and I would’ve liked to see more gradual transitions, phrasing, and dynamic contrast in this piece. The mixing is solid, although that doesn’t necessarily make up for the bland composition imo. Still, I liked the atmosphere, rhythmic content, and mood of this one. Keep at it, CANDYdisturber! :)
