Left hand technique, phenomenal. Right hand next near god level perfection. Tonality, warm, beautiful and extraordinary.

Berklee’s full of your traditional jazz snobs that wouldn’t dare to understand a note that you were playing, instead labelling it as “incoherent.” You’ve definitely got something there, just keep playing it. They’ll know soon enough what they missed out on. That piece was the most interesting thing I’ve ever heard.

Some very cool things that you managed to lead into each other very well. I don't live in America but I also did not get into music school years ago. I think they have a very set box that if you don't fall into, they have no interest. You're fantastic so I wouldn't be caring if they want you at their school, you'll go far without them.

i think you played better than i could ever play! i hope you keep playing music and not let anyone bring you down. when you're motivated to play music it's not possible to be stopped. i've been brought down from other people before because they thought my music was bad. i realized then that it's all taste and preferences and that no matter what you play there are people somewhere who will respect your work. the only thing that really matters in the end is if you like it. i may be saying cliches but the advice is really good in my opinion.
Does anyone know what the last chord he played was called? 😅

Nice touch! Don't let the Berklee thing hold you back. These things often don't mean much. I know some players who didn't get in but have far surpassed those who did. Maybe there are some useful points in the feedback (if they gave you any) but the main thing is to keep developing your obvious talent and do something with it.
