Trying to contemplate what to do next is always an issue in life, especially when it comes to putting a piece of music together. This is how I came up with this piece, by contemplating what to do next. It is a bit long 5:28 minutes, but hopefully you will find it enjoyable. I have my work cut out for me on creating a video for this one, for sure. All comments always welcomed. Hope you enjoy,

John,
Nice clean intro. Some really interesting ideas going on here. Really interesting change over around 0:30,  love that guitar cut in around 1:00 and piano break around 1:30 ... I think you need to add a bridge in here somewhere or perhaps a key modulation or change up to minor mode or perhaps a change in tempo to keep the listener interested at this point, your harping on the same chord changes and the change of instrumentation isn't getting you there anymore.... I understand that you are exploring your possibilities ... So I suggest you take a second idea and explore it the same way and then find a way to bridge the two different ideas together.  I think you've got plenty of interesting ideas happening in this tune and would love to hear how this turns out. The music flows fine but even as a backdrop for a video it still has to carry the listener there.

Wild.

This is a fine piece of contemplative music.  The mix and performances are very good.  Your versatility is showing.

Tap, Thanks for the comments and the ideas. You do have to remember I do music for videos and until I have a video the music is set in stone until I can incorporate it into the video where I don't know what adjustments or additions will be incorporated and set to the video. I do however like your thoughts, comments and remarks and they are much appreciated.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John

foxwolfen, very wild!! Thanks for listening, hope you enjoyed.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John

GUITAR! :-) I like the piano too. (in the beginning) But it felt a bit like switching the radio station around to different songs? I think it would be better with a single theme that builds and breaks. It did cycle through the various themes but they were so disparate it didn't feel like a song, but like several songs. I hope this is not confusing. The recording is very nice.

Lynn, Always a pleasure to hear from you. Glad you liked the piece and thanks for listening. I like a lot of complex sounds and epic excitement.

Peace be with you.
Blessings, John

The Band 19 The piece is for a video and therefore several various exposures need to be in the piece to go along with actions and drama that will be incorporated. Let's just say, for the most part my music is a preview of what will be in a video, once the video is made.

Peace be with you. Blessings, John

I can't say that I have not enjoyed anything you have done so far. You are the master of mixed genres.
