Hi Lowpass...cool track. I liked the sparse spooky piano near the beginning and the looped bells in the bridge. Here are a few things I would do a bit differently...

- Add some soft pads or vox from about 1:10 to 2:10. The drums found lonely. You probably liked the sparse feel, yet you already have that going on in the beginning and the bridge. So use this space for a build up.

- The brief chopped audio around 3:00, keep it going until the drop at 3:05.

- The bare rhythm from 4:00 to 4:25, fade it out. Even better...apply a slowly-closing filter with a bit of resonance. Your handle is "lwpss", after all !

This is pretty good, is it finished? The abrupt ending suggests it might not be, or you aren't sure how to bring to a full stop.

I would mix up the distorted kick drum pattern that underpins most of this, since it's so upfront in the mix (which is fine) some subtle changes that repeat on a longer loop (8 bars, 12?) might add something extra.

The new arperggio thing you bring in around 3:10, also sounds a little too high in the mix (a bit shrill). But these are small points in what is otherwise an interesting mini-epic.

beauutiful piano melody. love at 2:26 with the arpeggio : )
