I like the engaging, energetic, and bouncy vibe of the beginning. This piece has a full-texture, and you’ve clearly displayed a good sense of harmony here. I suppose one of my chief complaints is that it’s structurally extremely flat. Just because it’s a loop does NOT mean you can’t vary the texture of the piece at all throughout. I wanted to see you strip away the drums, pads, or bass (or all three) at some point during the piece and create a breakdown or bridge section that channeled the emotion more. You had very little in the way of dynamic contrast or phrasing to give this piece a sense of structural ebb and flow. This flat plateau of a soundscape is fitting for background and/or video game music, but not for maximizing musicality. There was nothing particularly unique you did with the sound design or progression. I also thought that some of the melodies (such as the piano melody at the beginning) needed to be brought out more and that the drums - especially the snare - were much too quiet, especially considering this is D’n’B. The melodies themselves were quite strong, though. The loop is very smooth, and the mood of this piece is a good balance of energetic and atmospheric that I wish you had capitalized on with some more phrasing. These structural details can make a big difference at this stage of the competition, but nevertheless I enjoyed the mood, full texture, and melodies. Keep at it, EverReverb. ;)
