Great rendition.

Moar is on the way :)

Next on the drawing board is the music from the Garuda boss fight. This music has a fascinating fusion of baroque and rock music that evokes images of suspense. Sometimes I have one of those "chase nightmares" and I plan to capture that when I arrange this music for solo violin. Exciting stuff!

Thanks. I'm glad you like it :)

Violin is my favorite instrument to listen to and you did a great job... however, you played it just a bit too fast. Slow it down a bit and you'll be golden.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, some musical phrases sound better faster and others slower. And there is a bit of a balancing act there and even choosing whether on not to change the tempo. I was going back and forth a little on this until this was the tempo that felt comfortable with me. And because the driving beat holds the music together changing tempo seemed like it would break the flow of the music.

But it's a good point to bring up. When I decide to upload a new rendition of this there are some other things I want to add and change as well.

Thanks!

This is good stuff
