I like the atmosphere at the beginning. The piece is pretty slow to progress at first, but I like the echoy synth riff at :28. The beat at :55 is nice, although the texture remains pretty minimal and dry. I think the snare at 1:23 is a little too loud relative to the harmonies, and the texture still doesn’t fill out quite how I want it to here. I think it would help to have some more consistent, legato elements in the texture, such as pads or an atmospheric piano riff. I like the sound design of the breaks at 2:19, but at the same time they don’t do much to alleviate the repetitive and minimal nature of the rest of the piece. The chord progression and arrangement of the piece are both pretty generic, and overall I think you could’ve taken a lot more risks with the composition here. The production quality is strong, and I like the instrumentation, rhythmic content, and progression too. My main complaint is the safe, dry composition. Keep at it, Jimmypig! :)
