Epiano Mix

Wrote this on my day off and spent the rest of the week mixing. It was nice to spend time thinking about mixing and making each instrument and section work together. I'm really enjoying the sound of epiano and want to continue exploring it in less "jazzy" feeling pieces as I continue playing with it.
Since I'm working on orchestral pieces, I've been building harmonies and chords out of the different instruments playing, so I tried to bring that here. With the epiano playing larger chords--I have an add9 and 13 chord in here, I think...hmmm, can't remember--it made some harmonies with the brass ensemble sound dissonant. I simplified the brass section in the final 1/3rd of the song and had them play similar notes or the 3rd/5th of the notes to try and avoid dissonance. There are still issues with dissonance, but not as much.
Learning for the week:
1. Drums - patterns, variations, excitement in playing, and realism
2. Harmonies - removing dissonance
