Hey Ron,

This has a solid eastern influence yet you can still hear your style peeking out.

I like the bartok pizzicato for the rythm. It has a very juicy sound. The samples in here are good. The flute in this piece is mixed a little low during the louder and more climactic sections though.

Near the end you bring the piece back to the beginning. That helped bring the piece back to its root so to speak. However, some of the cymbal/gong work was a little overdone. Mainly because it was highly active in sections that were not so active.

I wouldn't say this is just a soundscape as this piece progresses and is based entirely on the melody. It takes you to several different emotions surrounding one specific emotional state.

Overall, it sounds like a tragic piece. It is well executed and I personally like the eastern influence.

Well done, Ron.
