Strange as it may seem, this is the first time I've tried a 5/4, and it feels really weird. The timing is somewhat strange, but that's probably because it's not doing what I expect it to do. I'm sure I'll get my head around it though once my preconceptions have been overcome.
If I can get it fixed in my head, and I still like it, I'll make it into a Piobmaster file and pop it on here, if that's OK? Just say if you'd rather I didn't.
It originally caught my eye, because of the title. I used to walk my dog up to Rattray Head and back from Peterhead, when I was a loon. Trying to play this makes me feel like I did after my walks.
