Beautiful. The intro still occasionally plays in my head and brings me back here

[@emersonchao]

title says 11 minutes but it's been playing for 3 hours? Refreshing voices from everyone and very cool composition, look forward to hearing more!

[@kevinoliverjr]

😂😂😂 thank you so much

[@codfather6583]

I really dig your tone man, so clear and precise. Pretty sure i could enjoy just listening to you doing long tones *haha*

Beloved.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Loving the first 5 minutes - with keen anticipation of where this may be heading!

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Love how the constant ostinato keeps opening into polyrhythms.
And the consistent yet unstable-feeling tonality (extended harmonies), elegant (not awkward) silences, enjoined phrases, and incomplete/false cadences at the start all hint at a place unborn, and unknown simply waiting to be explored.
And you allowed us to travel there with you!
My only complaint is you brought us back far too quickly.
There’s much more area, greater depths/heights - many more dimensions here than you have exposed…

[@AhmetKizilay0]

Awesome!

[@kevinoliverjr]

thank you!

[@CaveXD]

Great music brother, I hope to have a tone as good as yours one day.

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Keep on playing, listening, and learning!
That’s been my plan for over 50 years, and I’m still not done!

[@CaveXD]

@@michaelfoxbrass Trying my best, but man 50 years playing is amzing hahaz.
