I like the pensive mood at the beginning and the dissonance in the E-piano line at :18. The texture is full and well-balanced, but not mastered particularly loudly. The drums in particular might’ve benefitted from some more compression. I like the sense of climax into 1:13, and how that leads directly into the moody bridge. In the second half, I think I would’ve liked to see you do a little bit more with the composition, though. This piece has a lot of underlying tension that never really gets resolved, and the abrupt ending only compounds that fact. You nailed the mood, sound design, and progression here. My complaints are mostly with the mixing and compositional details. Still, strong effort overall, JA4Y! Really paints a picture of mice sneaking around a kitchen late at night to steal some cheese. :)
