Graham, Casey, Paulie, Peter, et. al.,

correction: There were a lot of F naturals in the harmony parts, I mis-remembered that fact.

Out of sheer curiosity I transposed the D drone pattern up 3 semitones to an F, just to hear what it would sound like with an F in the bass (major 3rds, 7ths) instead of the D in the bass (minor 3rds, 7ths). Much more 'major sounding', I think. One concession to the change of mode was to end on a F rather than the D in the melody. No other changes to the melody line were made.

Updated cue live, please tell me if it is more relaxing and meditative now :)

Hi Alan
HUGE grain of salt as this is definitely not my area of expertise. I think this is very good but what stood out to me from the opening chord was that it was a bit TOO bright and major. I'm wondering if changing some major chords to major 7th chords would work? This is funny, I know, because the original thing was it was too minor.

Best,
:D Casey
