Thank you so much for the detailed feedback!
Yeah, I also felt these became static pretty fast, but I think since I didn't leave myself a lot of room mix wise I was a bit worried of breaking the mix, as I'm not very good at mixing! Also since I'm not that knowledgeable with this style of music I wasn't really sure how to create more dynamics without sounding too forced. The intro for "Same Place, Years Later" was the last thing I did for the reasons you described, to create a build up to help with the "staticness" of the track, but even then I wasn't sure if using synths like that worked well with this style!
Thanks for listening and, again, for the detailed feedback!
