Never really heard much music like this before, but I'll comment best I
can.
The piece is great, it doesn't get stagnant at any point in time, theres
always some variation within the piece but always maintains some
feature that helps connect the piece together (normally the flute and
other samples). Overall very interesting!
Constructive critisism, I don't know this genre of music, so I'll just
comment on my immediate reactions.
The sound isn't as well rounded as it could be. In my opinion there are
way too many harsh and high frequencies in this and the low to mid
range is often a bit thin... making the piece sound a little empty at
times. Is there anyway you can smooth out some of those high
frequencies occasionally? I was relieved when you got to some of the
lower and calmer sequences simply because they gave my ears a rest.
The other thing is that it felt as if your foreground and background
material wasn't quite organised properly. I felt as if the samples were
intended on being the foreground material, but because they naturally
had alot of reverb while your percussive beats and pulses were
completely dry it meant that they appeared behind the beats and
pulses instead of infront. So yeah, it was sort of confusing as to what I
should be focusing on.
Great work though!

and noises. Strange juxtaposition of those with the light, almost flute like
noise and the strings. Lots of highs and lows in tone. Great sounds
throughout. I'm intrigued to see how it develops as the suite progresses.
