[SeventhElement]

Not gonna lie, I got really bored and started improvising. Its kinda derpy in some parts, but here is the result:

Enjoy (or totally and completely slam it, this is another one of those 1/2 AM productions. Probably half baked)

i like that intro! it sounds mysterious to me for some reason.

I really liked the beginning too, I love virtuosic piano playing!

Strings on their own I wasn't too fond of, but when the beat came in, it was good again!
I think to improve the strings part, make the whole thing more...flowing. So, you basically have violins playing the melody and block chords, or an ostinato bass underneath...make it more interesting! Have some counterpoint (second melody) underneath the first!

But yes, nice job!

Alright, cool. I'll keep it in mind.

I actually thought this was crap. Ah well, I am particularly judgmental on stuff I make in the wee hours of the morning.

Thanks for listening guys

I really liked the part where the drums came in, great shift. Also the last thirty seconds were a good way to end it, but the strings seemed to lose the tempo for a second, if that makes any sense.

It does. I plugged my midi keyboard in and played away. No real notion of what I was going to play besides what I felt. Its a really lazy way to write music, and I haven't quite got the quantizing thing down, but I feel it gets the most emotions out.
