What have you composed for? Or what medium do you work around?

"Maybe it's the synth sound but something reminds me of Frank Zappa in his Synclavier days. At 3:20 definitely!
But I'm kinda missing the drama. This piece feels like a bunch of the bizarre interludes that FZ used to throw in his songs. Except that…"

"Hi Kyle,
While pleasant, this strikes me as an accompaniment, rather than a full piece. It strikes me as needing melody. As it progressed along, this feeling grew to the point where my interest waned. Also, it seems overall to fall in a narrow range…"

"Hi Kyle,
Nice to meet you here.
I liked this and overall it is a pleasant listen in keeping with a park/fun theme. Do you live in Hershey?
The only thing that seemed to contrast beyond the theme to my ears was the part that starts somewhere around…"

"Interesting colours and textures. my observations for what they are worth are that there is a lack of dynamics which would bring this piece to life and there are a lack of rests for the whole piece. Something is always playing. This coupled with no…"
"Feedback would be greatly appreciated."

"Kyle,
I very much enjoyed the first two movements, didn't hear the third. How would you describe this genre, new age?, jazz? rock/jazz? My only criticism. Don't use repeats for one or two measures. As a musician I find it annoying, because…"

"In the real world of acoustic instruments the other mallet instruments would cover those parts. "
"If I were you I would rework the entire piece and score it for percussion ensemble so it would be publishable and marketable for publishing companies especially the 1st movement. Drop the guitar, bass, cheesy slow strings which you definitely don't…"
"Hi Kyle,
Why do you refer to this as a "Symphony"? Symphony is a term that 99% of the time refers to a work for orchestra, so the title doesn't fit for a piece written for a relatively small chamber ensemble. It also often refers to a more…"

"Welcome Kyle,
We have some similar influences, I too am a fan of Copland and 80s music (the 90s began to lose me!). Hope you enjoy your time here with us and thanks for sharing a little about yourself!

"Welcome to the forum. I listened to the first piece. Thanks for posting this. I could tell even before I went to your page that you were a band geek. So was I. I played trumpet and was drum major.
