A composition fusing synths with creative use of bass guitar

Hello all, I just wanted to drop an example of my composition into this forum. I chiefly write cinematic music with electronic sounds fused with bass/guitar and virtual instruments at times. Looking to hopefully network and find opportunities to compose. I've written for a number of stock libraries but I'd really like to work directly with film.

I love the textures, and there's enough variety to the musical lines that it doesn't sound generic. There's something about the piece that it sounds like it wants to modulate to another key, midway through, so I'd like to have heard that.

I love the mood. Its texture and chord progression, pedal tone….. every part of it makes me wonder and curious about the scene. Genius!

Thanks both, some very nice compliments. I think the note about modulation is interesting. I always find myself using modulation more scarcely over melodic and rhythmic variation. It's a fair point though, perhaps I'll release another version that transitions to another key!
