Sons of liberty - One of my first piano song

Hi, I just started playing a little while ago and I recorded a song that I uploaded on youtube. I'd like to know what Pros like you guys think about it :) Thanks!

I like the dark, minor key feeling to the piece. Minor key type harmonies are what drew me to improvisation in the first place =) I like urgency of the piece. Nice use of 3 against 2, as well. Well, since you're new here make sure you browse the index of improvisers and improvisations, there are a lot of musicians here from a wide variety of backgrounds and styles. Welcome!

You write "song" and actually it sounds to me like it were calling for lyrics and a voice! :)

You might find it hard to get specific suggestions about the piece here---since the focus is improvisation, advice you will find here will be about your process of how you play and create music at an instrument. Depending on who you are and what your goals are, finding someone whose music you enjoy and asking them questions about how they create it might be your best bet. On the other hand, you might not even be interested in searching for such a person in which case your best bet is Google, composition websites, and your own intuition. Either way, new music is always welcome here.  :)

I also enjoy minor quite a bit :).  I am curious about the title, how did it get its name?  Also, I'm a little curious as to why it sounds like it's a midi recording vs. live playing?
