Maybe just turn on the recorder and play some stuff, a few notes soft, then some harder, mix it up, listen back.

Maybe that is the sound you are looking for, if so cool, that's what music is about.

Thanks for listening to my recording, haghj500 :) I'll try experimenting a bit more with my Phrasing. Thanks for reminding me that Wildwoman1313 has written a post about it. I need to check out that article. It might just improve my Phrasing in time for the next Recording :)
