I love this! I love the deep space between the notes and chords, I love to hear you! :) I hear the gravitational pull  (or the relation) between Bb and f and vice versa throughout the piece. I love those intimate calls into the huge space....I love your chord creations...

It's nice to see Wolfi stop by :-)

m1469, you have always been good at listening to individual notes as they appear and die away to the effect that you are highly skilled in making much with little, or revealing the great riches to found amongst a small set of notes. Also, time control...how did 7 minutes just go by?

It's nice to see Wolfi stop by:-)
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

I liked that very much and as furtwaengler said, it seemed shorter than it actually was.
All truths, not merely ideas, but truthful faces, truthful pictures or songs, are highly beautiful.
