I like the eerie atmosphere at the beginning and the blissful, chaotic riff at :10. The beat at :20 is catchy, but also sounds a bit grating on the treble end of the frequency range. The sudden transitions at :41, 1:01, 1:27, etc. are a bit jarring, and the harmonic content here could use some more variety at times. I have no idea what’s going on at 1:49 (cross-fading? Filtering/pitch-bending combo???), but it sounds really awesome, and the relatively mellow outro was a good way of hitting the piece home. Honestly, I really like the experimental texture of this, but I think you went a bit too far by having the arrangement be rather experimental too. It’s just hard to stay grounded and well-oriented as a listener with a piece that’s this…out there. Still, if you had dialed back the harsh percs in the treble end and implemented some more gradual transitions, I could seriously vibe to this. Keep at it, JarJarZoinks! ^_^
