What I Like About It

1. The harmonic structure is in minor rhythm changes (Am7, FM7, Bm7b5, E7). I’ve used it before, but it’s easy to get some nice tensions with this chord progression.
2. It’s very quiet and has a light touch.
3. The effects processing and equalization are unnoticeable, but effectively eliminate most of the distortion that’s endemic in a piece such as this.
4. Moving multiple notes at a time gave a more singing, evocative feel.

What I Don’t Like About It

1. There’s still a touch of phase distortion in a couple of places.
2. There isn’t enough on the high end to counterbalance the deep lows — everything is just sort of in the middle.

Note: These are rough drafts. Constructive criticism is welcomed, of course.
