Solid! Love the piano that’s in the song throughout. Just a wish there was a bit more progression in the beginning of the song.

Charlmot responds:

Thanks!

It was definitely a good idea to make a longer song, I think you really tried hard with the chord progressions and it payed off. I really like how the melodies "play around" or "interact" with each other, and you definitely did the inro-drop-build-up-bridge-drop-outro thing. The other review said that there was a lack of bass in the second half which is kind of true but I don't think it affects the song to much. The only thing I think you need to improve on is mixing - the piano is a bit too loud. Other than that, great song, keep it up! 95/100

Sound Design: 9/10 - This song doesn't have your usual sounds but don't think that's a problem, you tried adding piano and I think it turned out well. The only thing you need to work on sound design wise is the mixing.
Composition: 10/10 - You distinguished the different sections of the song, and the melodies work really well on top of each other. Gud stuff!
Atmosphere: 10/10 - Like most of your songs, I can imagine a scenario in a game or movie. For this one it's someone standing atop a windy mountain.

Charlmot responds:

Thank you so much for always leaving such detailed reviews!! I did try really hard to have a better chord progression and melody this time around so I really appreciate the fact that you mentioned it! :)

Despite the kick drum being very loud, there isn't much bass in the second half.
I think a good example of well-done bass is Spiraling Stars, where the kick drum adds to the impact of the bass that's already there.

However, the coherent arrangement and variety of sounds in this track is still great, regardless of minor mixing errors.

Charlmot responds:

I really appreciate the in depth review on this one! Although the lack of bass in the second half was intentional, I can see why that makes a difference when you factor in the kick now.

Thanks for letting me know :)
