[@seronimo__7735]

@@user-rd3jw7pv7i Nobody's answered this, so it's modulating from E to C major. It does so via an EM chord (the root of E major) transitioning to an FM7 chord (the IV of C major). Edit: the EM chord is voiced E - G# - B - E, and the FM7 chord is voiced F - A - C - E. So to transition between the two chords, you just need to move the bottom three notes up a half step. The fact that it's such a small change but it leads into a completely different key is what makes it sound really satisfying.
