Hi guys, I am pleased to be able to share my string trio named after player Zalistar from team Deep Space Federation.

Too good to be named after Zalistar. Call your next one Chloride?

Some of the transitions seemed a bit abrupt to me; it's as if you were trying to tell a story but it didn't quite fit. Maybe that's just me.

I agree, the transitions are abrupt. When writing this, I saw the opportunity to surprise the listeners by implementing a sudden change in what was previously a stream of consciousness for me. The goal was to resolve back to the material stated at the beginning which can be heard after the first sudden transition. When deciding to do this odd technique, I knew that I was taking the chance of loosing the listeners as they are expecting the piece to sound a certain way based on previously composed classical works, however, I did want to challenge the listeners expectations sparsely throughout the whole piece so they could question what they heard, discuss it, and come to a conclusion as to what had happened. Upon listening to your feedback, I feel like I have achieved what I wanted to do with this piece.

A fitting tribute to the man.

Interesting use of pizz rather than straight arco. Most of the trio/quartet playing I did in uni had next to no pizz. I like it.

Also, you using helicore orch?

Yep, Used helicore strings
