This is almost like a real piece, composition. I was looking att the nice picture and could imagine me driving along the narrow, winding road, listening.

The beauty of this composition lies in all your little diminuendos, especially towards the end.
Your little diminuendos, made me slow down the car, and I arrived home just as the music faded.
I didn't have an accident. So, a diminuendo can make a big difference
(In Kristin Hannah's novel Night Road, the phrase refers to the literal and symbolic hairpin turn where a devastating car accident shatters the lives of the main characters).

Well done this time ken. Bravo!

Best wishes,

Stig

Hi Stig, thank you for your feedback! Truthfully I am struggling a bit with the new engine because it incrementally improved some things but in more songs I am seeing it lost variety. But I will keep at it.

Re: Where the Night Road Turns

very interesting, it does seem like it's giving more of a consistent connected line.

Thanks Budo for your feedback!  I've been changing the composition engine so much in the last 2 weeks I forget which song uses which version of haha.
