This piece has for me an plantive quality - an Indian prayer that perhaps
no one will ever hear.
This was pre garage band played on a Yamaha PSR-270.
Love to hear how it comes across to you.

This is a neat idea worthy of expansion...literally. Thanks to the accompanying picture, I feel the need to hear the flute played across an expanse and in space--thus I'd recommend a litte experimentation with reverb to create a soaring tonal quality to the flute. Afterall, it's a prayer, and prayers drift to the heavens like wisps of smoke and disperse high into the heavens. The "room" sounds too intimate--add some 'verb and see what happens to it! It has real potential to capture the essence of a prayer.

I think you're right Rick. I did this piece a couple of years back well before I
started playing with Garageband. Played on my Yamaha synth. I did experiment
a bit with the reverb but never got it quite right. I think gazing at picture of the
Badlands suggests as you say wide open expansive spaces and more reverb
would definitely help. Thanks for the listen and the good critique.

I like how this piece develops. It's as if you come over a mountain top, and the landscape unfolds itself bfore your eyes. Very soothing.

PS I found this track by searching for "grand canyon". You and I have posted the only two tracks with those keywords. Check out my track "North Rim".
