I like the pensive synth arpeggios at the beginning and the spacey pads. The mix is pretty well-balanced, but there’s a lot of reverb in the texture, and the drums are a tad quiet, especially once the texture gets busier. The guitar synth at :44 is pretty cool, and I like the rhythmic syncopations during that section. The breakdown at 1:28 was good for some structural variety, although the arrangement of this piece is a bit generic, and at some point I would’ve liked to hear some more dynamic melodies, changing across phrases and really leading somewhere, not just repeating a 4-bar riff within the chorus/refrain of the piece. There are a lot of other cliche aspects of the sound design and composition, in fact - like the descending arpeggios and drum samples. That said, I like the pace of the arpeggios increased during the final refrain at 2:34. Overall, you clearly have a good sense of harmony, progression, and rhythm, but the structuring here is a tad formulaic, and aspects of the composition could’ve had more variety. Still, you’ve made a catchy and smooth-flowing track with some quirky synths and a strong sense of atmosphere. Keep at it, Dynamic0! :)
