Let me know what you think, feedback is great. I'm getting better slowly but surely. Still can't do anything much faster than this, convincingly

Some beautiful chords throughout this piece. I really enjoyed the dissonant harmonies and unusual chords. Some weird and wonderful feelings in this!

I like this. It has a sort of fairy tale quality about it. The unusual harmonies flow effortlessly from one to another.

Yes, I like it too, but when it comes to saying why I am rather inept. There is a very strong undercurrent, a coherence of phrasing and psychic impression despite its simplicity, or perhaps because of it. It has some features I go for in my own playing: non-notatable rhythm and almost periodic cells. Maybe it's just that. It stimulated me to listen to your other playing, which I am doing now.

As I suspected, all your pieces have this disturbing quality of meditative foreboding - "Anxiety" is a good one. I agree with the others about the effective harmony, but that isn't all there is to it. I like using those chords too, but I do not produce this peculiar effect. So it has to be a syncretic property resulting from several things - always a good sign in an improviser. I think you would be well advised to take your improvisation more seriously and pursue your own voice, as it is quite unlike anything else I have heard.
