I agree with some of the other comments. The sound is good but the song could really benefit from having some other element happening to make it go somewhere! :)

Again, the clicking is a little off-putting, I find. Other than that, the kick has a nice body.

I think, it's been a bit early for this kind of a break. One doesn't quite know what to expect, you know. This long sort of drift requires more promise earlier, I'd say.

What's happening here? Harmonies experiencing slight defects?!

Well, danged. Bryemye. I don't quite know what happened to you halfway through this, wondering if you threw yourself off with that long break in the first half, but this thing rinsed right through your fingers. There were some interesting components, but...it just feels like you didn't believe in it way too early already.

Beautiful blips, good hats, kick a bit too hollow for my taste. The random progression of those weird chords doesn't really work. Maybe it could have passed if the pads had a bit of mystery or a diffuse quality to them, like "there's something unsettling here, but I can't quite put my finger on it..." - as they are, they're simply far too static/upfront and thoroughly un-mysterious. Hearing this, I'm thinking that you may have struggled to get the pads as wide as you wanted them...? I know I did...

Some really nice sounds and I like the atmosphere. Some of the harmonies seem a bit off to me too unfortunately. I would have liked to hear a stronger lead, or more extra melodic stuff to create more variety perhaps? And maybe a bit more variety in the beat too would help keep it fresh throughout the track. That said, some nice ideas and parts for sure, sounds like lots of potential to my ears :)

Seems like the dissonance was intentional, but I think you missed the key there.

Good vibe, but needs a little work on the music theory angle to bring our your vision a little more.

My entry for the February edition of the One Synth Challenge on KVR using the Diodow synth.  All sounds come from Diodow. The DAW is Reaper and the other plugins used are ReaEQ, ReaFir, OrilRiver, JS Distort (light and just for the kick), ReaDelay, ReaComp, and pizMIDIStrum.
