“Sophisticated chord changes alongside more familiar progressions”

“You are writing within a certain style and genre but have successfully introduced influences from other areas and created an engaging individual sound.”

“The agility of some vocal lines e.g. rapid shifts of register and/or lots of lyrics to fit into the phrases were an impressive feature of your writing and your vocalist’s performance.”

“Some of your melodies were cleverly constructed through a process of motivic development, noticeably the verse of Cachito de Luz”

“Embellishment of ideas from verse to verse, for example in the first piece ( this may have been something your singer did spontaneously, but it felt like a compositional decision!)”
