Compared to this tune, your previous one is indeed very dark and oppressive :)

This is more like my regular style.

Beautiful! With a kind of playful feeling, maybe it is the woodwind/organic-sounding sounds?

Mostly I do like to keep the sounds I use - and indeed my playing - as natural sounding as possible. This is my usual combination of Rosegarden + Yoshimi.

Ah, the wise one speaks again. There is such a calm balance. Far too happy. Though being happy right now, I am much more comfortable with it. :) As always: an excellent ensemble of sounds.

Nice soundtrack-like sound. It almost does not feel like synth music, which given what you said about wanting to sound natural, perhaps means your mission was accomplished! :D

The only sound I did not like is the white noise. I think it was right to put it into the arrangement (it works like crash cymbals, right?) but it felt more synthetic than the other sounds.

The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they had everything in common. [Acts 4:32]

Thanks.
The sound is part of one of the 'Choir' tracks, and gives it a sort of breathyness. It's difficult to balance as it very dependent on the audio system it's played on (and the listener's ears!)
