Interesting sound combination, with a very clean mix and concordant melodies. Wish I understood the underlying theory!

Thanks. Chord progressions are my jam.

Unfortunately the piano has ended up a big more quiet than I wanted it to be as a result, but it's servicable. I recommend watching Adam Neely on YouTube if you want to learn about music theory.

Honestly, the choir is awesome in every part, though could definitely use some touch-ups.

Fun piece and a very insightful use of harmonic theory.

Oh yes, glad you brought back that choir! I like the harpsicord quality of the wave overlaying the piano in the quieter part

The best two things in life, combined.

That choir is always a treat and I love it. I guess it kind of is like a harpsichord, even though it's really just a square wave.

I think it's the attack of the piano paired with the square that tricks my ears. It is a nifty trick

It's a happy little accident.

Yea, I love using it every time.

It wasn't directed as you exclusively, but if you're a music theorist, you're definitely among the target audience.

This has a very nice progression in it, I also appreciate that nice Glassian minimalistic vibe of it all Great stuff...

Nice, arpeggios!  And I like the feeling that the tracking is slowing down when they cut out as well.

Lovely soothing progression and a choir that evokes film_score vibes

I don't know what Glassian is, but it's the results that matter. Indeed it flows nicely.

It's not so much they cut out as they're being replaced by the piano, and also slowing down, so you got that right.

It's my jam. I love listening to it so I might as well make it so I can listen to it.

I don't know about the theory stuff.  Just made me smile though. The contrast of the piano playing off the synth arps is uplifting. The vocal layering in the last third is the best part of traveling through the chord progression. You do make some really beautiful music (for being such a sarcastic smart ass )

You know me so well
To be honest, music theory isn't super duper important, it's more of an analysis tool and maybe a jumping off platform than a set of rules that say that this is good music. This is certainly decent music, but I thank the instruments for a lot of that (that choir is just so good), and I thank the theory for not making it sound like a discorded mess, though I, you, just about everyone else, can do that.
So really it's just a way of saying why I'm so good, even though I'm not particularly special.

Beautiful chord progression!  Interesting how it manages to feel familiar and unexpected at the same time. 
Nice work!

I guess that's music theory for you.
