Now, you could leave it like this and keep the quite surreal looseness, or you could midify it and tighten it all up a bit, add some drums, etc. Worth playing with, but the sound is quite nice as it is. I wouldn't recommend doing everything in the same way, but as one track in more polished company, I think it would work really well. Good work.
