Cool.  A tad too long getting started for me, but then developed nicely.

 I understood the feel you were going for much better after I read what it was written about or based on.
 I tend to feel similar to the way The Band19 does. I have written a few "wanderers" as I call them too.This kind of music seems fit for a video which isn't a bad thing at all. The Tsunami events I recall have been scary and downright frightful things especially when I think of the unfortunate people who were caught up in it. The tune seems to fit better with the aftermath of the event than the actual event itself JMHO. I hope I am not being too opinionated here. If you don't agree I entirely understand. 
 
 Your technique was pretty good on the guitar parts. I sometimes wonder what God is trying to convey by allowing these kinds of things. Some people blame Him for it in a bad way. I don't blame God but I almost never understand.Good can come from bad...has and does, so maybe that's the jist of this. Sometimes things are not caused as much as allowed I think. It all fits somehow. I'll stop waxing philosophical.

Nice.  Trippy, but focused enough to be very listenable (if thats a word).  Nice job.

sven450, Thanks for the listen and for your comments, they are much appreciated. Yes, the trippy waves were for taking you on a ride at 600 miles an hour across the ocean. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Starise, WOW, that sure was a lot of thought there, hope you can figure it all out. Things are allowed to happen, billions of time a day, just look around you and listen to the news. We have what is called free will, well, so does He. Should He take away free will? Of course not. As, for the song, look up above what I wrote to Robbie and that will give you a better idea about the piece. I basically tried to capture movement and effects with this piece of a Tsunami roaring across a wide open ocean, heading for land. I do thank you for listening and also for your comments. Sometimes without questions we don't know where others are coming from with their musical creations, and this is why a forum is so good to have just for these reasons, we find some answers to our questions. Hope this was helpful for you.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Have taken some of the advice here and thought you might see if this is sounding better. I did a few tweaks here and there and think everything sounds more in their proper place. All comments are welcomed.

I listened again? I'm sorry, I hope you can accept being criticized? It's really not good man... It sounds like some jamimng over an ambient backing track. The drums are not with the music, there is basically no music? Music involves "a melody" There should be a chord progression? And the bass and drums should support this. There should be less "or no" sound effects in the background. The lead should either be melodic, or should support the chords in "the song?" But there seems to be no song? Just wind, and rain sounds, and a chord or two with some jaming over the top. It may be good to rip a bong load to? But as far as a song goes? Or guitar playing? I'm sorry, it's not good. And I mean no disrespect, even though you may take it that way. It's really just one of the only honest opinions you'll get. 
 
Listen to my latest post, there's a melody? There are words? The guitar goes "with the melody?" Take notes.
 
Or I could say?
 
Trippy, but focused enough to be very listenable (WTF!!??)
I understood the feel you were going for much better after I read what it was written about or based on. (Music is about more than the feel sir...)
Cool. A tad too long getting started for me, but then developed nicely. (translation, I didn't like it)
 
But trust me when I say "all of that is BS." People will blow smoke, "most people will blow smoke?" Do you want smoke? I can blow smoke? You don't want smoke...
 
Here, I can blow smoke like these morons...
 
It hat a certain "je ne sais quoi" which was difficult to describe? It took me back to a summer in Spain where I rode horses through the mountains in the spring? There was a smell of fresh berries and pine cones. The playing reminded me of topless girls on the beaches of Martinique... "etc, etc, blah blah blah..." Read? People who are being nice, "are being nice." But it was Trippy, but focused enough to be very listenable...
 
Music is typically somewhat "formulaic" for a reason. It involves a 1, a 4, and a 5, and sometimes a 2m. Or some variation thereof? I know of what I speak... I know how it works, I understand the math (which is what it is). There's a formula to all good music, all good leads, all good rhythms... It's math. Relative majors and minors? Triads? 7ths, 9ths, etc... It's math. But this tune is not math.
