Hi Aleksi,

Beautiful melodies in your song Aleksi ! I'm not accustomed to listen to piano solo, but I greatly appreciated the changes around 2 minutes 30 seconds. Many passages have beautiful atmosphere... The ending of the song is original too. (yes I listened the song until the end, lol). Very good work for a first full song ! :mrgreen:

Thanks! I posted it on reddits r/piano and got some great feedback on it that I completely agree with.

I quantized it too much, it sounds too mechanical. A key change wouldn't hurt. Maybe I should've went further with the 2.30 part? Right now this it could be called d-minor in d-minor or something. :roll:

I think it is better to avoid to quantize :wink: Personally I think that it is more interesting to "rely" on his own listening, although/even if it is necessary to "rework" some notes manually... The most important thing is to get out the emotions & transmit them as much as possible... And it works pretty well with your song!

I'm of the opinion that quantization and mechanical perfection can be beautiful, so it depends on what you're going for. I thought this
was pretty breath taking. Great work, great musicianship!

I agree, it just depends on what you're trying to achieve.

Lovely work aleksi!

There's like 4 automated tempo decelerations, i tried to make it sounds human. Even though this song didn't end up where I intended it, I learned a lot while making it.

Thank you guys so much. This thread has been a big confidence boost :D
