If you want more comments on your pieces, I'd suggest listening to other people's and then commenting on them. It doesn't always work but I always make it a point to comment on anyone's music that has commented on mine (assuming they've posted something here) and there are plenty of other people who hold themselves to the same standard.

Anyway, hope you stay around. You write interesting music and it's always nice having new members.

First off, welcome to YC.

I quoted Tyler's (Nirvana69) post because he is absolutely right.

I also follow the same standard and by doing so have made a number of contacts/friends here.

If you ever listen to any of my music, you will see that I am a huge fan of dissonance. Just one word of caution I will offer and will do so in a short story.

I went to hear a 'world premier' of a piece not long ago and few people there were happy with the composer's music. What killed it for him was, his music was going along fine being very tonal. Then out of nowhere he added just a few dissonant notes into the mix. It didn't fit and blew the mood he had set.

What I am trying to say is be wary of just tossing in a couple of off notes in hopes of drawing interest.

I did not find that to be the case in this one. In fact I rather enjoyed it. Keep it up.

Ron
