Thanks for taking the time to comment. I have just started school again and things are busy right now, so I have not been quick getting back here.

If you're writing mostly dissonant intervals and textures, then all of a sudden you get these very open sonorities and what sounds like to be very tonal gestures, that can be a bit jarring and takes away from the overall cohesiveness. That just takes a little bit more effort on your part. I don't have a score so I can't say much else, happy writing.

In some of my pieces lately, I have been going with large contrasts between an A and B parts. Maybe I am taking the contrasts too far. Regardless, thank you for taking the time to comment on this.

I have added the score in the opening thread. A lot of the markings are for trying to get a more humanized playback and would not be there for the final score.

I am still curious as to what you think of Trojan Asteroids.

Thanks guys for taking the time to comment.
