Sounds good! I like how you took a very simple line (C-D-E, I think?) and added a bunch of stuff around it. Cool!

To be honest, I don't especially like it, but I don't like it in the same way I don't like Chopin, not the way I don't like a 5 year old banging on the piano. So I guess that's a compliment? In other words, it seems well written, but I just don't enjoy the sound all that much.

Keep up the composing, and post anything more you might come up with!
