Bravo ken! Big difference. You start pp and soft and gradually increase the volume to forte. These alternations weaker - stronger make the music more interesting, it is the dynamics that give that variety I was talking about, the music give a feeling.
And there are some changes in tempo too. And nice ending now - diminuendo, and last chord soft. Concentrate on the endings too so it don’t stop to suddenly and one is thinking what is ending or…

What a progress! I’m so happy for you. Now you know what to go on with.

Best wishes,

Hi Stig, thank you for having a listen and guiding the improvements!  I'm happy with the changes as well as gives the algorithm some template for providing dynamics in future songs.

Thanks again!

Really Great work, Ken!
I really enjoyed these two pieces.
Even though they're a bit far from what I usually listen to, I really appreciated them!
Keep it up!

Wow, great to near the changes may be in the right direction. I formalized the song sections into somewhat more standard sections (Intro, verse, pre-chorus, etc) and assigned unique configuration for each section to try to give the dynamics while trying to carry enough of the details forward for each section to keep the continuity of the song.

Thank you for the feedback!
