This one got kinda crazy in the end. I feel like it's quite chaotic until it finds itself around 1 minute. To be honest, the first 20 or so seconds was the last part of the song I created.. It originally started later in the song, and it just felt too abrupt to me.. because it started immediately with the drums and melody.. But creating the intro also inspired me to add some frills to the core that I really enjoy. I also considered replaying the middle section again later, with something added.. but i decided against it.. because I felt like it would mostly end up just being padding. SO I left it as is. It's super flawed but it has an interesting soundscape and I do really like it during the best parts. I guess I need to focus more on having intentional structure possibly. either way. I'm really glad to be back on schedule. The last 2 weeks were so hard to keep up with this because life was so busy. Thanks for listening! Cheers!

So nice when the high parts gel everything together at 0:50 but then it ends - could be twice as long - or should this be looped?

Yeah, I was really fighting with myself on that. There have been tracks that I've felt like I ruined by extending too much though too. Ultimately I decided to just cap it where it was. I suppose I could always go back and add to it later if I want to. But this is also a learning experience for me.. so I tend to just "keep moving" rather than letting myself get stuck on something too long.

Thanks for listening!
