This is the book number four: Numbers. This is a book of war... a cry of war. Yes! this one has a lot of Gustav Holst influence and the first chord is very like Mozart's Don Giovanni... tell me what you think about it please. thanks.
I love how you managed to make it sound like it was almost going to resolve into something that that would sound like Gershwin and then it goes a completely different direction- great stuff!
If Berlioz would've heard this piece.. he probably would have said that it was too vulgar (lol) too much percussion... but oh well I got very excited when I made this one... the tempos are not very well because its very hard!!!
Captures the romantic era spirit. The orchestration seemed good, but a little muddy in spots, I think because we need to get you a better orchestra sample pack... or maybe a real orchestra to play this, that will do it!
ttfn,

This is nothing to do with what I've been doing.. The truth is I was bored and turned on my roland juno-d and I started mixing up some sounds and well this is it, I know its not my musical area but wanted to try...
nice resolution at 1:40, intriguing impressionistic painting with your harmonic palette. Just enough tonal footing to keep my poor old classical ears quite happy. I'm back from a week vacation, and hope to start catching up on music again!
This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…
hey drakonis! about your comment on the big snake (lol) yeah I put 2 different tempos mixed up... it was fun. synthezised voices here made the song sound very bounding, beautiful!
This was a total experimental piece about just making a soundscape. I played instruments I don't really play, and put some thru different effects just to experiment. The Bushisms add some color to what would otherwise just be some noise. I…

After an adventure in re-recording the entire song down a third, we came back to the original, tightened and tuned.
Always the self flagellating perfectionist, it still needs a bit more love. Always the pragmatist, it is probably done for now.
Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…
This piece is my original almost-fugue-sounding arrangement of my favorite Ukranian “Christmas Carol”, Carol of the Bells, as if J.S. Bach had written it. Ingredients: Warmth, depth, complexity, eternal romance. Dedicated to my Belle. This was…
very well performed and composed... beautiful, I really like your works, very good quality. Also I wanna thank you for your encouraging comments, thank you again.
I thought I would try a slower piece so Rytme is running at 90BPM and I have introduced a density function that allows me to create sparser pieces.
MIDI from Rytme is going to a single track in Logic hosting Kontakt 3 with the Soniccouture…
Another build of Rytme, another experiment. This time the major change is that Rytme now provides a deep level of control over rhythm density which I use here to layer the more ghostly piano over the Liquid piano (both are Logic presets). I use…
First draft.
Dedicated to my mother on her birthday.

That first chord almost blew me out of my chair!. You certainly captured the mood of war
I love how you managed to make it sound like it was almost going to resolve into something that that would sound like Gershwin and then it goes a completely different direction- great stuff!
love the lower notes! 01:33!!! Great piece. I look forward to checking out more of your music.
How did I miss this one? Lovely! Great playing
This is an excellent piece. I love the melody and the tone of the piano.
I like the interplay between the clarinets and violins (violas?) And kirk is right, the cello is beautiful.
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh
Another great one Lalo! Those cello lines just before the end are just lovely
Another lovely piece, Lalo.
this is delightful music for this late night. gorgeous palette of sounds and melodies.
it's great!

My goodness, Lalo, this is truly beautiful. Wonderful stuff.
Wow, so forboding! I take it this is Adam & Eve during presentation of the ill-fated apple? Ooh...
very nice - drakonis comments are right on the money - you found a sweet spot between some common styles, and mode something v. fresh!
