Back to pure synth music for a while. This is a sort of New Age composition. As it is over 4 minutes, I'll just put up the mp3 version for now.

Of course, all comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thank you both very much for the vote of confidence!

Today has been such unremittingly bad weather - cold with heavy squally showers - that I didn't go out at all. Instead I concentrated on this little baby.

So what have I done?

Well first I slightly extended the last phrase as I thought the ending a bit too abrupt. Then I changed the timing from 80BPM to 90BMP, as I though it tended to drag a bit (ending up with the same overall length!)

Next I took one of the lead instruments down an octave - occasional notes were quite piercing.

Then I swapped out the second 'Bubbles' lead with 'Echo Bubbles', and added some smooth sound fillers in places.

Finally, I adjusted timing, levels and stereo positions (double checking with headphones).

I think this is now as I want it, so here we have version 2.

I had expected to like this version less - refinements often dull the fine edge of one's initial creation...
Not so, with this beauty!

Thanks everyone. I'm sitting here now with a big silly grin on my face Smiley

It is so easy to 'improve' an idea to the point of destruction and I'm glad I managed to avoid that Roll Eyes

Thanks again Cheesy
