After reading some other posts about the politics of it all, is this a friendlier place to post?  This is my own original composition.  Thanks for listening. :)

Ah, what lovely dark, modal atmosphere. I relish in this type of sound! Depending on your tastes, you could go some different directions from here. Maybe you could change up the riff you're playing, just a little bit, each time it plays (more than in the recording). Maybe play with more rubato, as well. Also, maybe you could experiment with chromaticism. I love atmosphere like this, but when you start throwing in "wrong" notes sometimes you can augment that atmosphere to new heights. Good luck, hope you stick around.

Have you heard Yann Tiersen? He's another composer who has a knack for making simple, modal style riffing feel really powerful and majestic: Rue de Cascades  You might like him. Also by him: the Piano

Yes I know the music from The Piano well but actually had never seen the animation before.  Thanks for directing me towards it.  He has composed some great music.

When Practice Stagnates – Breaking the Performance Ceiling: Robotic Training for Pianists

“Practice makes perfect” is a common mantra for any pianist, but we all know it’s an oversimplification. While practice often leads to improvement, true perfection is elusive. But according to recent research, a robotic exoskeleton hand could help pianists improve their speed of performing difficult pianistic patterns, by overcoming the well-known “ceiling effect”.
