I always get super excited to see you in music jams! I know I'm gonna get to hear some really awesome proggy stuff. 

That little harpsichord progression at 0:14 is TREMENDOUS

This is unique!

I liked the energy. Almost has a prog-rock vibe.

prog rock is certainly where i nest mostly, showing my age tier lol

Glad you had a good time

The chords are cool very medieval sounding progression, the harpsichord sounding instrument definitely adds to this. But the instrument for the main melody is definitely a little jarring.

Yeah my main signature identity trends toward creativity rather than adherence so almost always there is at least -one- wrongheaded item in the mix :)

some things escape though, like 5% of my things hit it out of the park.  Which I tend to be willing to accept that risk for the gains

Glad you gave it a try!

This was really interesting—surprising from the start! The piece is light and funky, and I liked that. I especially enjoyed the parts where you play with the tempo, like at 0:20. I feel like the piece lacks a bit of structure. At times, some notes felt a little too off-tempo.

Developer

I'm doing well just to get them made.  It's a little bit of my signature identity to press creativity rather than lock-step timing although rarely i will be lock-step (see "Moments Before Disaster" especially acoustic draft)


Glad you had fun.

if something merit's it a -long- time later I do the remaster to fix timings.  Doing it with 2023's right now:

see the alpha remasters list:
