Nice syncopated opening. I have a thought, and please this is directed only to my preferences. I have stayed away from using percussion in my music. Mainly because I'm not a summer and couldn't put together a cohesive drum track of any kind. The 

This is what inspires me: "You have to try to understand each second in a time space where anything can happen in a fraction of a second."

Beyond Then and Now

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul...
