Pretty good! The minimalistic style you have with the piano and synth plucks in the main theme is nice, but the mixing could be done better with regard to a softer approach to the piano dynamics and the reverb on it. This track, in my opinion, needs more sound design and maybe a synth pad/arpeggiator to really sell the alien vibe for me, as it's not quite hitting the mark. On the other hand, the organic elements in the acoustic for the 2nd track are nice. Still a bit too loud dynamically on certain elements like the synth keys and the high guitar plucks, but the ambiance is a bit better. It sounds like you are generally using a single texture pad, but try experimenting more with arpeggiations, soundscape design, and more nuances in the music (moving harmony lines, for example) to add more of an orchestrated nuance. Nice job.

Thanks man. Yeah I’m still fairly new to composing as a whole so i did decide to keep it relatively simple in terms of adding lots of independent voices, but that’s the general feedback I’ve been getting so I’m gonna be focusing on getting better at doing that now. And yeah listening back now some of the velocity shaping could’ve been done better, but I’ll be making sure to pay more attention on my next track and im sure intuition will improve over time.
