Song made me think it was going to go into electro swing and it kind of did. WIth your picture i feel like you wanted to convince us you didnt try or give up? But no need to apologize, this isnt bad at all.

Now, i love the piano riff, great chords. The intro leaves something to be desired. The Constant open high hate is a little jarring but the overall idea is good, the cymbals could be different or a more unique sample, i like the over all composition and idea, just a driving technoish piece. Of course, i wouldve loved some variation, you added variation with the midi instruments doing their little climbing thing, bring in and out different instruments here and there, and that was about it. With a little more time i can tell without a doubt you wouldve been able to put in a little more love to this song.

Very good work for being on a time crunch!

I would firstly modulate or apply some kind of fx to that intro piano dirge.

Spicy chords in the intro. You could also probably apply some kind of filtering, chorus to make those stand out. I find myself wanting more of them when our drop comes in.

Percussion could use to come out a lot more in the mix. Mostly the kick. The snare seems to do fine. It seems like there's some kind of rubbery flange effect going on with it.

Overall this piece has good elements, some strange instrumentation, and a polka feel I think could probably use more switchups. It ends up feeling like a slapstick horror chase through a Scooby Doo episode or something, with not a lot of overarching melody. What it does have is hidden down low. Those hoovery leads through 1:29, I'd like those split into two lines and panned something like 40 percent right and left

But overall, good use of piano without making it too cheesy, piece holds cohesively together, and for being forced to create this on a time crunch, I'm impressed. Good work :)

Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
