You continue to impress with your use of FDS. That's a nice melody, too.

Honestly, yes, a little more focus on structure and direction would be nice. HOWEVER, this is actually really boss! My eyes were wide open as I watched the FDS notes pass by, trying to read them quickly to get a sense of what you were doing, even though there isn't a lot of new stuff being done here. You pulled off an awesome instrument sound, with a respectable composition. It would make for an interesting background song, especially for, say, a chaotic scene on an animated show. Perhaps some fun prank-pulling, with this playing in the background.
I think this should have an ending to it. An ending would perhaps give this composition a bit of a... clearer structure, you know? For this specific composition, its looping makes it feel like a melody that doesn't have a story to tell, but simply describes a feeling and not much more. That's cool, but overarching stories in compositions are so much more powerful!
Buhh. I'm rambling. But yeah, it's a good, funky song with cool instrumentation. You should totally add an endying to it and put it in your portfolio! :)

I can always add more to it, yeah. It gets kinda tricky for me when messing with wacky stuff like this, but I'll try. Flow isn't really something I work on too often.
Glad you guys liked the instrument though, that was where most of the time went in.
EDIT: Okay, so I added a bit and changed a lot. I'm not really sure about the parts I added though.

I do like the basic idea behind each of your sections. And this song is definitely very unique! Although I only wish that the... ideas behind the first long section were a bit more clear. The second section was a relief because it was so easy to be attracted to, whereas the first main section was so chaotic and crazy (even though I was somewhat familiar with how it sounds without all of the new effects and stuff).
With that said, the new sections are very interesting, but I might tone back some of the crazy effects before frame 0B, just a little bit. Enough to still be like, whoa, that's really interesting, but cut back enough so that the main idea behind your melodies/harmonies is clearer.
Good work so far, I look forward to hearing more!
