Just a note to all my fellow AToners,, back up, back up,, back up,, i just spent 5 days working with a down pc, i did have everything backed up but it was a bit scary,, and if anyone has issues with sonar and motu products,,i might have some hard earned help if you ever need it,, take care all and BACK UP everyday R

As for the song icon for Don't Look Down - a friend made it for me and I am not sure what he used. Subway is a good bet.

Well, I make no claim to the authenticity of Ethno 2 samples - though assuming they are top notch is probably a safe bet. I just released a revised version to my private mailing list and here are the instruments: This piece is a quasi-middle eastern section using the celtic 12, E, and D guitars and the lead Electric Bouzouki plus acoustic bass in Zurna tuning and the percussion includes Timbales, gong, Bendir, Daires, Darbuka, Tamborin, and Sistres.

Loved this. Thanks for the trip. Also thanks for the comment on Call Me Crazy. I've had alot of computer issues the last few weeks and haven't been able to be part of this wonderful music community. Glad to have a moment to enjoy it. You're quite the composer, sir. Would love to collaborate on something sometime, if that would interest you. I don't just do country, by the way.

A lovely performance Richard.

Beautiful piano playing! Those piano notes definitely sound like rain drops!

beautiful first movement of your piano sonata Richard

Stunningly beautiful!! Especially that middle section

Awesome.

Breath-taking!

Beautiful Richard very nicely played, really cool.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Beautiful!! In composition and execution.

...VERY nice work here. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

...beautiful.

More Doors! *Excellent*

The wind of perfection blows in your direction Richard. This is real graceful.

very pleasant composition, and a great orchestation. although choirs might lack a bit of depth, mostly in the graves, there is really nothing wrong with those you've used..

Try Soundsonline.com with Quantum Leap East West Programs, they will blow your mind. They are mostly orchestral stuff, and realistic instruments outside synth, but i think there are plenty of synth things on the same site. if i did catch your question correctly hopefully i answered that same question.

Totally gorgeous!

well well, a bit of the CV magic goes a long way,,,first off i love it!! the softer somewhat understated approach is superb, is that clarinet in the main? love it's blue feel,,,, there's almost a slight klesmer feel to this (2nd listen),, you musta had a lot of fun doing this,,, the more i listen i, hear just how well you have orchestrated/put this together,, very very well done,, as always i am amazed by your broad range of skills and musicianship,, yours,,, Richard
