I like the ominous intro and somber piano. The strings are a little distorted when they come in at :40. I’d be careful with the equalizing between them and the pads, maybe even adjusting the panning accordingly. The kick at 1:11 doesn’t sound very clean or distinct. The mood of the piece is pretty cool, though, and I like the melodic content that’s in the section between the refrains. Unfortunately, neither the melody nor the refrains are ever really varied significantly, which detracts from my enjoyment of it. Not a bad track, but overall it’s lacking the melodic development and phrasing that could really hit it home. The mixing and mastering also need work, as I mentioned earlier. Part of the problem could be an excess of reverb. Overall, though, I think your composition skills are pretty good. You should take more risks next time! Keep at it, man. ;)
