This one is different. The lead violin is gorgeous! You are an excellent, masterful composer -- you should be as well know as Mozart. Very interesting at the 2:40 mark -- psychedelic seasoning. Delicious -- I love it, love the way you paint with sounds. some great imagery after the 5:00 mark. The way the violin and chello play off each other after that is brilliant. Enjoyed the entire seven minute trip, thank you!

It's so pleasing that you're not stuck in one genre, and an even greater pleasure that you can fuse various genres together to tell stories with sounds. You are indeed a master.

I'm on ice, I'm afraid to go on.
It seems fragile, but I have to go,
I have to go through it.
I had to.

As turning the pages of memory, randomly and lento. All that I know, is seen not as it was actually, but with age and experience (...dusted?). How can I forget? Do I need to?

Wow! This one really got my attention. Quite moving -- gripping. This one I've actually listened to and commented on before, but I guess my mental state is different today, so that this listen I find the piece even more moving than before.
As if I was a tree,
And would stand in the woods,
Taking the rain and the snow.
As if I was a tree,
Standing in the field,
Looking at the eternal movement of the clouds.
As if I was,
as if ...

We don't get to choose our days or chase our past
We only get the ones, we've made to cast

Sweet end…
Ok, I have decided to put it here. It is a stretch containing several ideas, it falls apart here and there (especially at 3:10), but I think the atmosphere shines through.
Hope I can return to it in a couple of weeks (when my head is clear…

I don't normally repeat myself too, but when I sat down to listen this melody first thing that came to me was peaceful elegy. Thank you Doug. I' m dreaming about to collaborate with you somehow.
Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

Thank you, Gary. This is a Saturday Special.
Fantastic!
Love the bass especially!

You are a master!
Very cool.

A fun listen!
And again, brilliant and delightful.
Very entertaining, very delightful. I love how your mind works -- you are brilliant musically.
This one tugs at my soul.
Intriguing, interesting, delightful.
I'm enjoying this scale -- it has an Eastern flavor I find tasty.
I really like the flavor of this one -- really tasty!
