I'm pretty sure I've seen Hemo mention humanizing your MIDI velocities, durations, and timing at least once a week to someone on the forums or Discord. This track is exactly how you do that with a piano piece! It's not done to sound more real, although that's a consequence of humanizing - it's to bring the emotional weight of the writing into focus for the listener.

Don't mind me, just gonna go sob in the corner for a bit. :'-)

Ooh, this is gorgeous! Well done, Hemo!

Any song that mixes Mako Reactor with Terra's theme is a win in my book.  This was the perfect remix to start my morning off with.  This was a very lovely piano remix, well done!

This is so gorgeous! @pixelseph's comment also seems to imply it's all midi programmed, not live played, which is blowing my mind. Stunning piece.

It was only way down the line that I forgot another level of humanizing that I didn't do, which was automating the sustain pedal.  That definitely would have helped with a couple spots that were mentioned by the judges. All I can do is learn from that and apply it to future work.

Thanks for the love all :)
