The mood is simultaneously cute and creepy at the beginning. The pads at :12 were a little in-your-face. I’d suggest taking some of the treble off of them, at the very least. The climax into :45 was amusing, but I think you really overdid the reverb on the snare there. I like the recapitulation of the beginning at 1:35. It seems like the pads are getting a little distorted by kick at 1:42, though. I like the structure of the piece overall, but I think you could’ve varied the refrain a little the second time around, just to give the piece more of a sense of development. The part at 3:01 also seemed a bit spammy with the pads - not a great way of channeling the energy IMO towards the end of a piece. You also could’ve had some stronger melodic content in here. As I see it, the melody now is essentially 5 notes, starting at 2:16. You have a solid, thick texture made up of pads and arpeggios, but that still leaves a bit of melodic desire to be satisfied. Overall, this is a smooth-flowing and well-structured piece that you could’ve done a lot more with. I think it’s the composition that needs the most work, but there are a couple of subtle things you could do to drastically improve it (like coming up with a slight variation for the second refrain, or adding some more contour to the melody, etc.). This is a solid foundation for a really strong piece. Keep at it, man!
