Sweepingly romantic. I probably wouldn't pan the instruments so far apart, it sounded a little "spread out" in headphones. But the lyric tune and the nice orchestration were very sweet. I see a father smiling. :-)
How wonderful to play the piano like you do Lalo, I particularly like the very melodic pieces probably because I don't really know much about classical music. But I can tell you are very, very good. Cheers Bethan
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.

Comments on Lalo Oceja's stuff
Excellent!
You're a very talented man Lalo!!
Stirring stuff!
Lovely stuff once again. You're a talented composer!!
Beautifully played.
wow, really nice! an indirect collab with pops.
Sweepingly romantic. I probably wouldn't pan the instruments so far apart, it sounded a little "spread out" in headphones. But the lyric tune and the nice orchestration were very sweet. I see a father smiling. :-)
Your Dad composed a very pretty tune Lalo. Oh my.
Lovely! I see where you got the talent!!
Just heard about the earthquake in your city today... hope you are OK!

One of your most beautiful!!
I think this is your lovliest piece Lalo, such a pretty melody and so tenderly played.
Truly beautiful! (Bethan has melted. In my kitchen.)
Lovely melody, this is love story stuff.
Excellent... a longing lament that brings out the rich quality of the cello nicely.
I enjoyed this, but could have enjoyed a few more doubled notes for harmony here and there (like the last chord at the end.) These are all very nice.
This movement has a little mischief in it.
This definitely creates a mood of melancoly. Excellent cello recording, good use of dynamics for the expressiveness of the music.
Very sweet waltz, slow and warm... and slightly quirky, with a little smile. I like it. I hope your daughter does too.
