Yeah, I feel like this piece almost implies strings, but I decided to
 keep them out specifically for this reason. I feel that this way, the
 guitar is more... "immediate."

There is a couple of places where I play a G7 chord on the guitar, and
 G-F on the mallets, and although that F should blend in with the
 chord, somehow it stands out. But after listening to it for a hundred
 times I got used to it, hah.

 Thanks, Harry!

Thanks, Arve. I had a lot of trouble mixing this because I'm very
 inexperienced. I will keep your comments in mind!

As with all the aspects of this piece, recording is something that I
 have a lot of work to do on. But another reasons for this may be that
 the strings on my guitar are quite old, and I didn't bother changing
 them before doing this recording.

For me, fall is the best season!

I'll keep this in mind.

Sold! I will try to get something new up very soon.

I know you are a big proponent of Nama, and I intend to work with it
 in the near future. But for this piece one of my goals was to use
 bare ecasound, in order to become more familiar with all of its
 aspects.
