So here it is. I called it "splash song" becuase I used the imagery of a slow motion splash for the first part, which I composed for a GFSA compitition ages...

Ladies and Gentlemen: my frst full length original composition

Well done on the composition and playing.

My only crit would be that the recording levels seem a bit low so some of the details get a bit lost in anything less than a totally silent listening environment.

Are you planning on recording all your tracks yourself at home or will you be using a studio?

So as per usual, I've improved on the original recording....?

To find this post I went back in the archives and read previous comments, and I was shocked! You guys really are the nicest bunch of people, Thank you.

I really like it.
Played it a number of times and each time it gets better.
Leaves a nice aftertaste.

:bopping: - To my ears the recording and performance are a definite improvement - congratz!

Digging the your blend of blues/jazz/classical influences in the composition.

Exxxxcelent. That would at least mean that all the obsessive practicing paid off. Thank you.

I think I missed this one the first time around. Nice piece!

+1. The recording is far better - you're getting a closer, more intimate sound with a fuller, warmer tone. PLaying has also improved a lot, but there is still a little hesitancy here and there.

Great to hear! There were a few notes skipped in the middle section, so this will be my "practice along to" recording. I still want some more contrast between the runs and the chords. I used to put too much syncopation in the runs, and that took away from the "pause - chord" part. It's a hard habit to break though. Fantastic that the recording is improving as well ? Although, no doubt, there will be a day when I go to a professional and get it done properly.
