I like the dramatic descending synth at the beginning and the arpeggios at :15. The lead synth there is a bit generic, and the chord progression also sounds pretty cliche, but the mix is loud and clear, and the piece has a great sense of atmosphere. The arrangement of the piece sounds a bit formulaic, though, with major changes only occurring every 8 bars. I also think the piece gets rather repetitive by the end, and I would’ve liked to hear a more distinct and prolonged climax towards the end. Overall, the composition and arrangement of the piece feel pretty stagnant, like the piece was made from a generic template for what a piece of EDM should sound like. Some more gradual transitions, melodic development, and/or a change in mood or instrumentation at some point might help give this piece a stronger sense of ebb and flow over time. Still, nice job with the mixing, harmonies, atmosphere, progression, and rhythmic content. Keep at it, Blackhole12! :)
