Thanks so much for listening and for the detailed feedback! This is kind and helpful and encouraging. Mixing the live tracks was definitely a (new) challenge, and today I was thinking I wish I had brought the guitar down a bit more so it's nice to hear I'm on the right track there. I don't think I can get rid of the tubular bell in the first track though; brings me too much joy 😄
I also appreciate the suggestion to consider more restraint. Maybe because I'm a percussionist, my first instinct is to throw in all the toys 😁 Makes me want to experiment with some minimalism like your tracks. Thanks again!
