My first music composing experience

It's supposed to be creepy and atmospheric soundtrack for spacepirate's vessel cutscene.

So, what do you think about it? 

[Anian]

Well it's kind of a piece that's maybe too long for a switch between scenese but too short for any background atmosphere (I know you can loop it but it's gonna get repetative).
Have you tried slowing it down perhaps, maybe you'll gain more of a atmospheric bit that way. Otherwise it's okay, maybe on the simple side, but I definetly could imagine a creepy space cutscene.

On a technical note, it could be my speakers, but the tracks sounds like it's low quality, some notes really sound damaged and cut. Did you adjust the volume afterwards or something?

Yes, I think I should add some looping tune at the end of this theme.

Now that you've mentioned it I can hear it too. That was because "dusty strings" instrument was too loud. Fixed.

I especially like the second one. Nice melody, well orchestrated. What's your process for creation?
