There's nothing wrong  with that piano, but there are a couple of low-mid frequencies that I would EQ out as they get kind of buzzy.
 
Love the contemplative melody, very emotional piece. Great work Tom!

Dan

Dan, hello again! I shaved a resonance out of 205 hz by about 1.5 db with a tight q. Seems to help. I also put "Intensity" by Zynaptiq to work, bringing the high end up, but not too much. There is still some "bite" to some of those initial piano transients. It's a weird beast, the felt piano. Thanks for the encouragement and advice.
 
Bob, always a pleasure to get your take on it - I think I got rid of a little mud this time. Thanks so much!
 
James, I looked up "The Bridge" - that's creepy goodness right there. Thanks again!

I like it a lot. Moody, melodic and a bit hypnotic. Definitely makes a good backdrop for a winter video (oh yeah, that’s exactly what you’ve done). Instruments sound good to me, mix sounds good. From a personal preference POV , drums would be much much lighter (or replaced with just wood block and maracas or something with less impact).

Solid composition.

Love this -- music and video both. I've done my share of winter camping -- it's my fav time of year, I'm totally a winter person -- and both the video and music are very evocative. And I love how it ends, the music sort of goes still and drifts off into the ether and radio chatter. Great piece all around, and the recording sounds fine to me. 
Really nice Tom. The video and music go together very well!

Thanks Manny - less is more sometimes, eh? Thanks for the drums idea, too.
 
Thanks, Amicus - I was kind of stoked how the ending came out, too! Just a happy accident, actually, I pulled that radio patch out of Omnishpere 1.0 while mindlessly trolling through presets. Who knew?
 
Glennbo, thanks, glad you liked the vid.
 
cheers,
-Tom

Tom, this is a beautiful and thoughtful piece of music which I found very calming.
 
It's a great match for the video which is also well crafted. I really love the slightly phased cymbal in the water part of the vid and that pad sound from around 2:19 is epic!

Thanks for sharing Tom. I found that to be really calming and thought provoking/reflective. How did you make the video?

Zinc - thanks. glad you found it chill. I tried not to overdo that filter thing on that drum part, I think it came out ok!
 
Antler - the video was edited in my lowly Adobe Premiere Elements 13. A very pedestrian tool. Back in the day when you could buy it, like five years ago. Now you have to subscription rent it - ugh. The subscription model of software development seems like the last stage when a company knows it's going down the toilet eventually.
 
Too soon?
 
Anyways, thanks very much.
