In my opinion it is pretty repetitive, it never really changes. I got a very wild western feeling over it all tho, which was nice . As you said in the post too, it is really myserious and suspenseful.
use better soundfonts in your music. idk what software u are using but the instruments are weird, soundfonts can help with that. they are basically just digital instruments and there are like hundreds of thousands of them and u can find the perfect one for any instrument any vibe. thats why its only decent.
also your notes are good for like ambience, but not really for much else, because its too repetetive and all
yeah, because if it was meant to be quiet, ambient music, i wouldn’t expect the instruments to be so sharp and hard hitting, more of like soft guitars and basses
The atmosphere is rather stale than suspenseful, actually. Mostly because the pacing is slower than it would be, as well as the rhythm isn’t particularly that interesting. You might take some notes on syncopation for an idea. Additionally, the frequency the sounds are mixed together seems more brassy and bassy, which makes it more sludgy.
Improvements for it could be adding more contrasting elements that creates some distinctions. You might also accompany the current sound with some pads or bell-like(that isn’t too low in pitch) elements on top. Some other notes include structural improvements, giving your music some good contrast in terms of sections.
Take an example of how I can blend the sound with appropriate balances:
Hello! In my opinion, it is somewhat decent. But… it is a bit repetitive and the sounds are not as “expressive” or “engaging.” Maybe change the tune up for how the music sounds so it does not sound as pixelated as it is right now.
