Thanks so much for all your kind words on this. Richard-This was actually the first MIDI tune I did back in 2009. It was really kind of a test. I downloaded Cellofan and plugged it into my sequencer (Samplitude 2008) and was amazed at how it sounded. After a bit of jamming, my fingers just seemed to go to the right place for that melody and I built the rest of the tune around it. Robert-It's funny you should mention that you actually like when the percussion comes in. Most people say "Hey, You really had me almost asleep there, then the drums woke me up"! Not consistent! What's wrong with that! Contrast is great! Franz Schubert used contrast in the second movement of his 8th (Unfinished) symphony. It starts out so sweet and serene, but changes to a dark and intense feel real quick. Glad at least somebody agrees with me. JB

nicely done,, what keyboard and synth are you using,,overall a nice development,, you are taking a simple idea (and that's a complement) and exploring it a bit with the various instrument/sounds,, that's exactly what i try to do, on my third listen,, and it keeps my attention... well done

I like the pick up with percussion at around 2:04 or thereabouts.
