    This is really quite lovely Bert, what a cool piece. Beautiful melody and the piano is very nice indeed. This is matching up well with one of the rare sunny Autumn days in this part of soggy Scotland.

    Yup, that was nice.     The rhythm felt a little rushed to me, but I really liked the arrangement and your choice of instrumentation.

    Wow, this is really nice.  I like the piano, and the rhodes appears in and out.  The drums are cool too, they sound real, the ride is very absolute, and the snare is it, crashes are harder to get. The recording is clean and crisp.  I like the way the bass sits in there.
     
    Dang doot, in this genre, this is as good as anything I have heard.  My only caveat, is that the flute at the beginning is not convincing enough.  Have you ever tried a breath controller for those breathy sounds?  I have not, but may be something to try.
     
    This is the kind of music I like to listen to late at night, sitting in the dark, contemplating my existence.   I gots to hear more of your stuff sometime.  If I could type the f naughty word I would because this is f naughty word good.

    I'd say each individual part comes across really well! Really well indeed! So from that standpoint, it's pretty well mixed. Nice job.
     
    You are shooting for a swing waltz feel, and occassionally it all rides together nicely. But I'd do a little more work in making sure everything follows the drums. They are riding a little behind the beat, as they should. But the piano in particular seems to be right on the beat, or is quantized which seems to eliminate any "swing" . . .
     
    I'd let the drums be your timing guide, I'd slip the piano back in time in a whole bunch of different spots. Your timing issues all manifest themselves when everyone is playing together.
     
    I don't know how you mixed this, but I'd start with bass and drums only, get them swingin' together, then add flute and piano one at a time.
     
     
    It is beyond doubt a really lovely piece, so compositionally, bravo!
     
    cheers,
    -Tom
