Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate getting some insight about your process. I actually do have that book, I keep starting it and then getting distracted lol. One day I swear I will get through it. You've inspired me.

Congrats on the win; you earned it! I've been listening to this and trying to figure out the chords you use. My knowledge of jazz is still in need of some expanding. I was wondering also if the bass was played live or is it a vst? If so which one? It sounded like a warm hung :-)

Thanks so much! It's in G minor so I went from G minor to Ab major quite a bit there

Awesome! What a great tool you have :-)

I really liked the bold chromatic chord progressions in this like other people have said. My main critique was that the overall sound was a bit "thin" and distant. Maybe that was your aim. Good work, esp for 3 hours!

I love the artistic liberty and playfulness. Way to make an instrument actually speak!

I would hands down give the award of "the most catchy" track to this one. I heard it the other day and it was in my head for a couple days after that. I love the layering and I like how you change it up 2/3rds in to keep things fresh. Really a fun listen.

Awesome! Thank you so much for painstakingly writing out all the chords. I appreciate that so much. You saved me lots of time :-). Again, awesome work and colors.

Just listened to this again. I'm still really impressed. I can't believe that that's done with just your own voice? You have a lovely voice. This is something totally new to me. Was that all in your own natural range or did you use software to cover more territory? I noticed it went really high. Also, was there some auto tuning in there? I'm just wondering about all the technical things because it sounds so damn good.

Awesome, I'm glad you like them. I guess the technical term would be motifs? I've learned that a repeated element that reoccurs is an effective way to tie a work together.

That's a great suggestion. I love doing that but I hadn't considered it for this one. Thanks a lot.

Gothic lolita 80s horror-adjacent anime; I think you just invented a new, very niche subgenre! Thanks!

Solid! I loved your deep, cloudy bass and chording and interesting solos. Your chord changes were really interesting. Would love to know what chords you used. Great stuff.

Thanks a lot; I thought this track was excellent. You had such a great balance of instruments; really fit my headphones well. I looooooved your bass line!! Very clear musically and really fascinating harmonies. I want to study it and figure out what you did!

Awesome, thanks a lot! I'll check him out. 

I really enjoyed the simplicity and clarity in this one. What a fun character! I like how you layered things. Wish it could have been longer!

I love the artistic liberty you took in this one. It truly was a futuristic bossa nova. Your soundscape was really cool.

Just wow. This was amazing. How did you do the voices? They sound live. Please do tell! This had amazing character, variety, and is just so well composed. Loved it. My only critique, and this is just being technical, is that it could have been more "futuristic"? Otherwise this is one of my faves.

Love your tunes. Keep 'em coming. You seem to have confidence in your writing that's very inspiring. I like how this music breathed; periods of soloing with long breaks. Your harmonic colour and changes were really cool. Well done.

I really enjoyed the character of this one. It had an icy, glassy quality to it; especially loved the flute melody. Could listen to this for a long time. Was that a tuba in the bass?? Also, great use of fade in/out. One thing that was a bit distracting was that the piano sounded a little out of sync with the beat. Was this intentional? Good work!

Thanks so much, StarBliss! It was a new genre for me and so quite challenging. I also learned how to use a synth to bend pitches which was a fun new discovery.

Thanks, Tokyo!

Thanks, I just can't help but put things in the minor :-D

Great layering and character!

Great atmosphere but thought the elements could be clearer and more distinguished; especially the theme.

Epic - I thought the treatment of the theme was very original.

Loved the colours of the melody and your use of the bass so freely.

I found it difficult to hear the theme in this one. 

Loved this! It was so fun; I liked your harmonic colouring and rhythms.
