A midi I made out of boredom, I thought it came out sounding pretty good. If there was a wider spectrum of genres I would change it but I'm just placing it in Heavy Metal for the riffs in the middle and the end. I followed the first 3 notes of C Phrygian and climbed around those. The middle riff is in 7/4 and contains a generally Pentatonic solo. I feel like this would well fit a Doom map if I uploaded a looped version lol.

In terms of composition, this is a good piece. The way the electronic kit fits with the rhythm and tone of the piece is quite logically chosen. I like the melodic creativity of the song and the solo definitely wasn't too much but not underwhelming (if you know what I mean). I can definitely appreciate the theory, and it's nice to hear some odd time signature in a song here for once (too much Animals As Leaders for me). The only reason I'm talking half of the points off is because of the lack of atmosphere and spaciousness in the song. It would've helped the song if you had some kind of synth or string ensemble playing, something that adds to the piece's tone without affecting the lead too much. That isn't necessarily an easy thing to do though especially with the limitations of MIDI.

Overall, good composition!

Thank you, I would like to say that my attempt at adding atmosphere was exemplified by the low Halo Pad in the back but I now know that it was not powerful enough to show itself in unison with the rest of the instruments. I will consider this for the future. Thanks for the feedback!
