Wow! First that intro was so moving. Second, you played so well with dynamics here. The swelling, the instrumental choices, the pause...really nice. Peter Gabriel like in parts. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the harshness in some of the harmonies due to their electronic nature, but needs must. Awesome piece!

As for getting over one's self and finding some zen, pretty sure all the ego can ever do is "work on it".

As for the hobby, stick to it. You've got talent. Thanks for sharing it here.
