Thank you for sharing. I hope wellness increases in your life. Lately, I've been thinking about a definition on the principle of hope. Hope, I realized, is negentropy. Music is much a part of that nature. In my experience, music also reflects as a mirror. If peace is found, then music just revealed to you what you already have.

One of the things that distinguishes art from propaganda is that the latter is trying to accomplish something. And I don't mean attempting to accomplish certain techniques, but rather in how someone should interpret or feel towards it. Whereas in art, it often is about playing, exploring, and discovering what is already there in and around us. It merely reveals something. You understand this as I've read the word tinkering amongst you and the Heartgrinder.
So I couldn't recall any purpose or intention. I can only say what music I was listening to while creating this and what was going on around me in society at the time of its creation. I often think of current events, and stories of those that struggle among us. I was initially having fun discovering rhythms between melody and harmony.
I like your analogy. If I were to interchangeable use the words dance and life, I'd like to describe it as when the music fades, we are separated from that moment in a forlorn pursuit.

I always appreciate your support. Regardless of whatever name you prefer, the community is better with you.

Hey FateModified!
I appreciate the time you spent in letting me know your thoughts. This piece of music was interesting to me, because, while mixing it, I felt there were so many flaws in how it sounded together that the emotional appeal I first had when composing it was drained out of me. It's a strange relationship I have with music because of the different roles I have to partake in if I were to release a finished product on my own. It first starts out with intrigue and joy during the writing process, but, since I have to wear my mixing engineer hat, I then have to think analytically to figure out how to make it sound as clear as possible while still keeping its integrity in timbre. Either way, I'm encouraged. As far as instrumentation, the strings are 8Dio's latest Solo Cello and Solo Violin (the studio quartet series), and the synths in the beginning are a mix of Rob Papen's Blue and Logic Pro's ES2 synth. I recorded my own piano if that isn't apparent by now. From 1:23 to the end, it's just 4 instruments: piano, cello, violin, and a pad synth.

Hi EverErratic. You are very generous with your words; I don't take that for granted. While working on any piece, one is never quite sure how it will be perceived so I appreciate the encouragement. Your description reminds me of a story I once heard when another visioned what heaven is like and in that even the walls surrounding us were singing.
