Man, that was really nice. I struggle with harmony at the best of times though. Really lovely. I heard my heater.

I'll go with the lute part any day. A little bit puzzled on the drone, but I think Cage would approve!

Nice one, mate

Harsh & gentle at the same time. Nice!

the contrast of the drones and acoustic flute makes this a truly interesting piece. Especially the part where the drone stops and the flute is in the focus felt like a relief. Nice stuff!

Really cool.  The contrast between the drone and the acoustic part is neat and then when the drone drops out it really does seem to make the silence louder.  And yep, my own ambient room noises really jumped out at me at the end.  Nice job.

Thank you guys. It took me a while to get back to listening and reading comments this week - lots of life stuff going on - but it's so nice to see your thoughts. Glad it "worked as advertised!"

Thank you! There are actually several of those renaissance standard chord progressions - hopefully I'll get to use/deconstruct several more in the future. I'll keep you posted. It is interesting how popular their influence remains, Led Zeppelin!
