I loved the detuned mallet-type synth, I'm also using a Digitakt! That's inspiring. The whole be sounds like a mix of many things but the first thing that came into my mind was "baba o'riley" from the who

Chiptuney vibe, when the varitions start around 0:52 not using a built-in arp pays off. It's nicely organic with the harmonies you use. The build towards the finale at 2:40 is pretty nice. I like the minimal selection of sounds, they are minimalistic but work well together.

Nitpicks: Some of the higher arp counterpoint notes don't seem to be in tune with the rest. Examples at 2:56, 3:02. I'd use the bass line a bit more across the track. It can be a nice counterpoint to what's happening "above". Here it's pretty minimal and missing for a third of the song: the first 34 seconds and then the break between 1:15 - 1:43, and the final outro from 3:05 to the end.

thank you both for the thoughtful comments! i appreciate the feedback and (valid!) constructive criticism. i paid extra attention to the tuning/key of this week's track. it's a little less "baba o'reilly" and a little more "hotline miami."
