As someone who used to be contained to 2 octave keyboard hell I think you have done a very good job making something that's just super relaxing here! I like the way you mess around with meter especially, and think your harmonic ideas throughout this were pretty cool. I think if you were to revisit this, even just adding some reverb and/or some delay to just stretch out that sound a little bit could really help flesh out what you have here, and you dont even have to add much. Nice job Rafa :>
Thank you! Again, I made this in the middle of heavy burnout so anything sounded both perfect and horrible, haha. I'll make sure to keep this in mind though!
This is so pretty! The ascending fifth in the left hand keeps everything centered. The piece is a good fit for Minecraft, but I still think there is more room to explore non-diatonic harmonies, different textures, and different orchestration. Lastly, I enjoyed the push and pull of meter and tempo in the piece. Great work!
Thank you! Honestly, at the time of composing, I was (and still am) undertaking a massive art block wave. This is honestly just an improv on a 2 octave MIDI Keyboard, and I'm surprised it turned out as well as it did! I'll definitely be taking more into consideration for the next one.
