Hey @Gabriel Carlisle! I listened to this most recent version above. I really like it! To me it's much more suited to depicting a stargazer, someone sleeping, or a sunrise. I don't really think it would fit the city in particular. I really love your use of parallel motion and major 7th chords! Also - very effective modulation to F# minor and back to E major. The tempo changes and poco rit.'s were also well placed and added much humanization to the piece and made it much less square even in a computer rendition. Thanks for sharing!

Hi @olivercomposer! I really like the really dark vibes of this piece. I think starting your melody on the #4 of the scale/harmony and having the first interval of the melody be a tritone is really bold and in-your-face and catchy too! Only when you resolve this #4 to the natural 5th degree does it become apparent that we're not in the Locrian mode (which contrary to popular belief is quite a practical mode to work with if you use plenty of other corroborating factors to center the piece in that mode so that it doesn't sound like it's the vii chord of a major scale - factors such as conceiving of the melody as a bold expression of the character notes of the mode). What's also amazing to me is that you manage to end the piece in the same key in which it started - and somehow I don't hear that key as the tonic! LoL Thanks for sharing this electric guitar driven edgy piece!
