Just posting this bit of music I wrote, probably about a year or so ago. One of the last pieces of music I wrote. The performance isn't so great (there are some awkward pauses here and there because my hands are not that great anymore) but I wanted to get the song down. It is very short, but I think one of the better things I've done musically.
