I went on a spontaneous trip to New York (which is quite far from Finland). As some of you might know, I'm participating in a competition for composers on Newgrounds, called the Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch. I had a bit of a dilemma, in that the deadline for my submission would be closing in on me whilst I was experiencing another country. Thankfully, during my travels I found a piano I could compose on for hours during several mornings. This piece is the result of that work. Luckily, there was much inspiration to draw from my surroundings. For those reasons, this composition is one of my personal favourites. I hope you enjoy it too!

As for the video, my editing software is starting to get too stressful for my computer, with which I've had issues for almost a year. I hope I get a chance to invest in a new one soon! The performance is authentic, but I corrected a few small mistakes in the MIDI; you most likely won't be able to see a difference.
