Slipping into the Subconscious Mind

Hi,
Here is my latest piece using Notion "Slipping into the Subconscious Mind" which features Hollywood Strings and Hollywood Brass (Gold editions of both). I have nothing but good things to say about these two libraries. I should note that because of Notion only being 32bit I'm very limited in the amount of ram I'm able to use, thus I can only use the sustain patch(or only one patch) for every instrument in here. Some parts are very synthy but as a whole I'm happy with how it turned out. All sound is from within Notion.

Slipping into the Subconscious Mind
"The conscious mind may be compared to a fountain playing in the sun and falling back into the great subterranean pool of subconscious from which it rises." -Sigmund Freud

I'm listening as I type... I like the composition... this is one of those pieces that really need a careful and well thought use of controllers to get the phrasing right. As it is the notes are a bit flat sounding, and the expression of musical feelings is limited. The ff parts work better because the timbres themselves are interesting. You might decide to invest some (a lot of) time taking care of note connections, dynamics, cresc/decresc, vib/non vib, making every held long note move etc. This is just my thought, of course... nice composition, anyway!
