LOVELY PLAYING...
i hear the shawn influence...
this would be circa Powers of Ten era, yes, no?
i understand the drumming....
this is very much like the type of riffs that shawn would play to.
in this case, the drums sound TOO canned....
there are too many obviously repeated riffs....it sounds like cool fills just cobbled together...
a stronger drum track, would lift this instrumental about 5 notches, for what it's worth.
soundwise, it's a bit muddy....
the drum eq is close, but could use some refinement.
the guitar, even tho it's obviously got treble rolled off for a smooth tone from the amp, is missing some 'attack' in it, maybe around 2khz, that would give a bit more edge without making the guitar too bright.
a bit more attack on the drums as well.....
the kick is not deep enough to match the deep quality of the bass....
i mean, you're so close, it's just some mix tweaks.
keyboard needs to be louder and a tad brighter.
i would not fix this in mastering, i'd re-mix til you get a nice sheen to it, without being harsh.
