Very interesting use of 5/4 and 4/4, and also how the sections in common time are split up. You mention the sections sound sporadic, I would agree due to how hectic the drum pattern is and no noticeable dynamic change between the sections. For boss music specifically I would say it's quite fitting stylistically though I would like something to keep the rhythm more grounded when changing time signature so often.

The melody is really catchy and quite discernable (I got a Gm Bbm Dm Dm7?) That with the descending and ascending patterns hidden behind the vibrato are a nice contrast and imo fits the theme really well.

The samples are nice touch and make it sound polished. The section with the crow sample, I would've preferred maybe a slow arpeggiation instead of block maj7 chords so it was more audible and ominous.

Oh yes, dynamic changes, something I ended up almost completely ignoring during this project! X-x I think there is definitely a lot that can be improved with dynamics, and probably one of the first things I would take a look at going forward. I really appreciate your comments on the rhythm, also. I started by making the melody before the drums, and I find that I have trouble making it in that order, so any comments that help with that are great.

I'm glad that you like the samples, I really enjoy adding in samples so I'm super happy to see how much love that's getting! ๐Ÿ’–

I will also check out doing some arpeggiation for the chill crow part, maybe it will make it sound a bit more interesting.
