"I guess I wasn't aware of that.  Just my impression upon listening to the piece, without any thoughts as to genre.  But it's just one opinion and there's no reason you should follow it. On another thread I mentioned cellist…"

"Sorry no, didn't mean slower overall, just more variation in the tempo.  That probably means slowing down some moments.  There's already some variation, but I feel a bit more could help."

"Very nice and well-played.  Nothing to critique here.  Agreed with the beautiful & sad thing, and reminds me a little of a piece of mine called Stitches, although yours is more complex:…"

"This piece is quite nice.  Could maybe alter the tempo a bit more to breathe more life into it, but you do do this already in parts.  This is a virtual piano?  Can I ask what piano sound you're using?"

"It's interesting, but hard to latch onto something when listening to it.  I think you'd benefit greatly from leaving MuseScore behind and using a proper DAW so you have better control over note velocity and tempo changes and a better…"

"Just embedded the latest version in the OP.  This one uses a new piano sound, and filters to make it sound more "wonky" and maybe creepy.  I think this one has much more character."

"I just updated the track embedded in the OP to  my latest version.  I'm using a new piano sound now which is much better I think, made a few note changes here and there, and made use of filters to give it an old-piano sound as well as…"

"Thanks for the feedback Gav.  I wasn't particularly going for psychedelic, but I guess that's where it ended up.  You can hear the stripped back version in the piano at the end (at least of the chorus).  I thought the chords…"

"Thanks Dane, glad to hear you can't single out a particular influence, since everyone is saying Beatles.  I wasn't trying to sound like anything in particular along the way, just doing whatever felt right. Yep the vocals are me, the…"

"Thanks for your comments! A few people have mentioned the chipmunk vocals, and I know what you mean.  The lyrics are ultimately quite pessimistic so it was kind of a juxtaposition to that.  Some people have said that they weren't sure…"

"Hi Disconnecta, It is well executed and hits the atmospheric mark I think you were striving for, congratulations for that. The only place where I thought the piece lagged was that if you take out all the psychedelic effects, what you're left…"

"Very nice. Seems to capture what I know of the flavour of the times. Original in that I can't single out a particular influence. A nice production. Sounds like the kind of thing artists of the 60s did on a 4- or 8-track tape recorder. Very Oz…"

"I enjoyed this. The only thing that seemed slightly out of place to me was the chipmunk vocalist. I think this added a less serious element to it and made me think it wasn't a serious work and instead was some guy playing around with plug ins…"

"By odd cycles I was just trying to think of a short way to describe what you said here: "Its repetitive structure doesn't coincide with the lenght of a measure, but falls short a half beat, and thus shifts more and more away from the…"
