That reversed piano sounds so familiar! May be because I'm used to hearing keys in G maj, haha. Very smooth intro, although that low register chord is really chunky sounding to my ears. I try not to play major thirds that low down.
I could also do without the vinyl scratching. It's bugging me in the left ear. It sounds like it's looping.
Chord progression around 1:10 is also a little chunky sounding in the low register. Recommend Adam Neely's Q&A #52 on lower interval limits.
I'm not really sure where this piece is going. Find myself losing attention occasionally if I don't make the effort to keep focused on the sound scape. A lot of your melodic content is covered up with reverb and boxy low-mids throughout.
I initially never would have guessed this was synthwave were it not for 3:05, and the transition into this section was a bit clumsy. 2:53, for reference. Not only is there not a lot of dynamic contrast there, there's no indication this section here is not in fact the final chorus, so when we do hear it, we don't know what's going on.
Additionally, across all of your choruses, the pads and bass cover up both your percussion and leads, sucking the energy out of the track. The two-chord progression you use for your drop I would expect for a bridge. I really don't feel any resolution. So, while the contrast between sections is great, I'm not really able to feel a sense of climax at the points you most want to convey it.
Still, good piece. Enjoyed it. Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
