Topic: Against the Turning Sky

Another new melody engine implemented (number 3) since I wasn't too happy with the previous one.

The third time’s definitely the charm Ken!
This new melody engine flows so naturally—the phrasing feels much more organic and expressive.
Fantastic work!

I can agree again with carmelo. There is something "more" in this engine. And I can hear a little diminuendo in the end. You could possible try to work on the endings a bit. Tones fading into the distance....  Often people remember the beginning and the end of  song. This happens because of two brain patterns called the primacy effect and the recency effect. These effects make the first and last parts of any experience stick in our minds much better than the middle parts. The beginning could be slowly growing from piano to forte some places.  Well, this is only my thoughts when listening. It is absolutely not negative critic.
You have already done a great job here.

Best wishes,

Stig

Wow great to hear, sometimes one can get too close after hearing something too much to be objective. Thank you Carmelo for listening and feedback!

Hi Stig, thank you for having a listen!  Indeed I have been struggling with the endings trying to improve them and make them better. A bit funny because I often find my beginnings and endings the weakest parts of my songs.
