    Very nice clean sounding mix.  I really like the piano and synth parts you used in this instrumental. 

    The material is a bit too exact and feels very quantized though.  I'd like to suggest looking at a few midi grooves for the drums because they just seemed a bit to straight-forward and with some interesting drums patterns this thing could really move.

    I'd also like to suggest one more progression within the song itself as it feels pretty repetitive.

    Please take what I said as a constructive critique.  You've done a great job, just giving you a fresh set of ears on the material.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Tom

    Thanks for listening Tom.  I'll definitely consider those points as this develops.

    Nice easy listening tune.

    I didn't like the sound of the piano.... also there are some notes that might bear a closer look..... I heard something at .24 that sounded off. It repeated exactly in V2. (and in all other places..exactly)  It might be intentional, but it made me say...WHAT?


    Overall... nice mello tune to start the day.

    Thanks for the listen...I did intend it to go that way, but will definitely experiment with it.  I agree it may be a little to dissonant...plus changing that line would vary the repetition from the line before it.

    Yeah, the dissonance stands out, mainly because it only occurs in that one (same) place and not throughout the rest of the song. It was one of those things that sounds like if you just change one note, that would fix it.... or add more dissonance to the song.

    My first impression when I heard it was.."Oops... finger fumble..."

    I liked this.  Nice, uplifting feel to it.  Good blend of instrumentation too.
