"Ahhhhh. OK, at 2'01" there is a brass line that comes in but it is a bit obscured by the string obbligato. Perhaps you might bring down the volume of the string obbligato during the time that that line lasts to bring it out a bit more? That would…"
"Thanks for the feedback Al, and for taking the time to listen.
As part of the brief, I had to keep the piece to a max length of 2:45, so unfortunately couldn't develop out further on that basis, unless 'progressing' the piece more quickly in the…"

"Thank you for paying attention to making your music listenable. That alone made me like it. The piece spends a lot of time setting a mood, yet I found myself wanting to hear more of the substance for which that the mood was set. Perhaps add such a…"
"Thanks Tyler, really appreciate you taking the time to feed back!
Agree that the violin is in danger of repetition overload - I kept it to the minimum brief length of 2:30, as any longer I think it would spoil things."

"Very good piece here. Like the americana/copland feel to it and the subtle use of percussion. I would normally like to hear more melodic material in the violin, but because this is for media, the ostinato works perfectly to fit that need. Good Job"
"And an opera is a lot of work!"
"The 'large scaled works' thing doesn't apply, but I've generally used the term Opus for all of my solo piano compositions since starting out so it's relevant to that extent! Rodney Carlyle Money said:
Opus numbers are normally for the order of the…"

"Hi Matt, I thought the beginning was so so okey-dokey but then at 40 sec. you opened it up
and ..wowed me. all in all I liked it. Logically tho' I would finish an octave lower. To my ear,
more fitting to the overall piece. RS (an…"

"Ah, you didn't mention that it was a 1-day challenge. It's pretty good for something written in one day, actually. Maybe one of these days, we should run a 1-day contest on this forum and see what folks can come up with. :-)"
"Thanks for that - appreciate the feedback! Part of the challenge for this piece was creating it in one day, so I definitely made use of loops extensively to build the piece out. I think I pretty much built in some kind of development every 8 bars or…"
"Not bad. Very interesting use of pitch bend in the violins for a warped effect. There's not much development of the themes, though. It sounds more-or-less homogenous throughout, almost like the looped background music. Probably works OK as a…"
"I really do love this. But this is right up my alley. Sounds like something that would go great with media (movie music, in particular). I recently discovered a podcast that features unreleased music from Soundcloud. This might be a great place for…"
"Well the piece certainly takes you from one place to another, and in a way it feels as if it is doing it rather randomly just as a balloon might do, so I think it rather well tells us the story. However I am not sure wether or not I like that the…"
"This piece is very endearing! It's simplistic, sweet and beautiful. I don't have anything bad to say about it, it is simply a wonderful song!"
"Thanks both for listening. On reflection I think 'Daydream' would have suited this piece quite well.
Lesson learned: stick to Opus #x unless a title has a dead cert name! "
