Hi, Julien! Many thanks for opinion.
What kind of solo sound You visualize in this piece? Can You provide
info about similar band/song?
About drums -- thanks, I should think over your proposals. Drums was
made in Hydrogen, so any changes is possible :)
Thank you once more for good words about my work.

Hello Oleg!
Thanks for sharing this tune. For my taste there's enough change in it, of
course some vocals or another, a different solo sound/style would't have
heard, but that's just it: taste.
When it comes to sound: I like the recorder there, some time, since I've
worked with one. But I don't know, especially soprano recorders are dificult
to please. Perhaps some chorus (carefully and softly), a bit more reverb
perhaps. Even better, a second recorder. I was once told, to record a
recorder farther away from the microphone.
It would also have been nice, if the drums would change, especially when
you go back to the tonica, at the end of the melody. I imagined something
like bassdrum and the crash cymbal only on each new chord, just before the
tonica, perhaps some hihats in between or toms. But clearly a break. It
would have made a nice break there and signalled a new part. It would have
been a bit of the (un)expected and new there.
As a drum lover I'd again say: perhaps try te combination of reverb and
after the reverb a compressor on the snare. do you get the snaredrum on a
jack-port of it's own? If so, you might try some experiments with that, if
you do some electric guitar, heavier sound again. The snare gets bigger that
way, a bit more forcefull.
I do like your performance, don't see a hitch there. Nothing, that would
have been disturbing. I'm not that much into mastering, so I keep out of
that. I think it might somehow have sounded a bit stronger, more clearly
defined. But from personal experience with our band, I know, that this takes
loads of trial and error. I wouldn't know myself, how to get it right.
All in all: a good piece! Would be good to hear more from you.
Kindest regards
Julien
