Any critique'd be appreciated, because this sort of thing is a bit strange for me, so I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong. Thanks in advance.

It's nice. It's kinda creepy. I like that. The only qualms I have with it, is the beep boop synth felt too loud or intrusive on the first listen. But on the second it grew on me. If that makes sense.

Woah, now that is some dark ambiance! It actually kinda reminds me of Glaze's old stuff. The beepy synth sits in with the mix quite well. Only thing that kinda felt weird to me was the pad in the back's shifting volume felt like it got a little too loud, too fast at times. It might feel better if some of the volume changes were a bit more gradual.

I don't know a thing about ambient music though, so I don't know if my advice is worth anything.

I had a similar experience listening to it myself. I couldn't decide whether it was a problem or not, but decided to leave it, and now I still debate it a bit. Thanks for listening!

Could you maybe give me a time where it felt like that? I could see that being an issue if it was in an inappropriate spot for it.

And really, I don't know much about it either, I'm just kind of trying to see what works. Any advice is worth something to me, especially when this is something I'm just starting at.

Around 2:58 is a pretty good example, it goes from almost nothing to a pretty high volume in a short amount of time.

Oh, well that one was intentional. Maybe I could've made it a bit less dramatic though, because at a certain point it just doesn't sound good.
