Hey Neon :)

So this piece is pretty awesome. I'm really happy it placed in the contest. You deserve it, especially with an awesome piece like this. The piano work is fantastic and your instrument choice is awesome, which says a lot since you only had so many instruments to choose from! The only thing I can really criticize on is that the song gets a little repetitive. Mainly the bass in the piano, but perhaps that's what makes it sound so monochromatic... Overall, this is a solid piece! And it definitely deserved a spot on the top three! I hope you join in on the other rounds of this contest!

Hey Stunkel!

I really appreciate the kind words and feedback! It's good to know that I chose my instruments correctly, I'm glad it all worked out the way it did. As others have pointed out, the repetition can be a tad too much, so I understand where you're coming from. I'll definitely have to keep this in mind for future songs! :)

Beautiful Neon-Bard! From the picture I can totally see where you got your inspiration from, it fits very well with the picture almost feels like as if I'm actually standing there! :)

Neon-Bard responds:

Many thanks Mattashi! The artwork is just phenomenal and it was incredibly easy to draw inspiration from it! :)

I like the mood and instruments. The harmonies and structure were really good, and I think it really achieves its emotional potential, which is awesome. I wish there was a little more variation, but nonetheless an excellent piece for some light listening, and the ending was beautiful! :D

Neon-Bard responds:

It's great to hear all of that, thank you (especially about the overall emotional potential)! :)
