I agree with Tom, There is a Asian sound to this, I'm guessing it the use of pentatonic scales. It's a very relaxing piece. The electro piano does sound like rain drops or bobbles coming to the surface in water. Very delightful Wook.

Hi Tom a rill is not really a stream, a rill is very narrow, something you could easily step over without any effort, at most 12 inches wide.  Thanks for lending this your ears.

The Asian feel I think come as much from the sound of the piano/bell/string thing as the Pentatonic progression.  

As to why I write any piece of music Tom, it is always for me first, did I choose it?  I would rather say it choose me. There are thousands of tunes sounding in my head right this minuet, quite seriously a real cacophony of sound or they are floating out there in the ether waiting for some lucky soul to find them.

Some days one of them either reveals itself to me or escapes from the noise in my head to find its way down my furry arms, out my furry claws and in to my keyboard or my guitar to be caught in my computer.  If I am lucky I get to capture it and share what I hear with others.
 
Thanks Gus for lending this piece your ears, there is in fact no EP on this it is the effect of two instruments the CS 80 V, with a vaguely percussive string voice, and Dim Pro with a vaguely sting/bell voice playing the same part.
 
Thanks again to all who have listened your ears are appreciated.

Definitely an Asian feel -- I agree it is the piano-bell-string thing that makes it sound that way.
What a lovely, relaxing, and happy sounding song.  Your comments above remind me of one of  John Lee Hooker's lyrics when papa tells mama to let the boy boogie woogie: "...it's in him and its got to come out."  I love it when those musical head noises come out!!
Excellent work!!!
