kinda cool, but i feel like the piano riff is pretty dang repetitive (no offense) and kinda slow at the start, but for the rest cool

yeah, the supporting instruments are supposed to counter the repetitiveness

I really like this. it's really warm and easy on the ears. That square synth and the drums truly take me back to the minecraft music discs.

I don't find the piano super repetitive but it could use some variability. For example, I'd fade the piano into a low pass at around 0:34 and ease it out at 0:48. after that, it could be nice to add a subtle flanger with very low frequency to change the sound gradually and even add some further automations of eq, reverb etc.

these are just some ideas, it's on you whether it fits your creative vision of the track tho

I love the 1:42 section. I'm really curious about how you achieved that

also its a triangle synth 🤓

#

as for the outro, its mostly the same piano except for more delay, no quantization, and whatever i did here

nah its fine

#

generally true square waves are a lot harsher though

#

I hear some kind of detuning thing happening in the outro tho

soundin good. I'd totally listen to an album of this

keen helm

maybe

#

+changed the first kick, not sure if i like it yet

mortal arch
#

mmm, try adding some resonance to the low pass cut. that way when going back up to the high spectrum there's more excitement. I prefer the other kick sound personally, but I think you should layer them and find a sweet spot in between

personally i feel like the clap/snare(?) instrument doesn't fit in the mix. maybe it needs a bit of reverb, or just a different sound, not sure. it's kind of dry and plastic sounding, when some other timbre might fit in better.

overall it sounds good to me, though a bit short. you could definitely repeat some of the first half, at least

i like how that sounds. kinda subtle difference but it's way more interesting

#

and it feels like it's a part of the mix now
