I wonder how many days a month they would let me get away with going in there and jamming for awhile? "Hey! Would you guys mind holding off on the over-head customer service announcements? I'm recording here!!"

Brilliant! I'm usually asked to leave Sam Ashe after a couple hours of playing on all of their cool percussion toys. Surprisingly, some folks don't have an appreciation for extended drum solos... and some might even be inclined to give you a nasty look if you just laugh when they ask you to stop. Note to self: save the gong trials for the last.

ahhhh It is the illusion of memory that makes is so real.

I must say I am impressed and I get it, I really do get it, you are not alone.

3 notes on the deck. like this one.

Very cool mix mate nice one

Now this is an idea i can get into. ;)

Thanks for your help, and i'm glad you and your wife liked the track!

Very impressive.

Ha!! Now, here's a 3000 dollar guitar. I never thought of field recording in a store. Unreal, and a very clever idea.

some of by best perfs have been in guitar centers, playing with the really expensive strings I can't afford.

epic trip.... great having some sparetime during weekens.

After hearing this i'm not sure......double stamped! score!!!

wow....amazing.

he's a legal alien.

Naaa....just a bad ass. Perfect track. Love it.

I am begining to wonder if vaisvil....it's still human...or...if the program has taken over his mind....and has become self aware...

so pretty pretty in did was she always so pretty?

they are alive at that , :)

nice track mate.

I love your voice reef. Excellent tune and production - your acoustics sound especially nice.

This is brilliant! Would you consider doing a collaboration sometime?

I suck at most electronica genres (like trance - I don't like the 4 on the floor aspect) and I don't think I've given country a serious try yet as well.

excellent collab!!

nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.

Well, since I have not used MOTU SI I can't compare but you can since you can hear my Kontakt 4 sample set. Sonar 8.5 was / is a radical upgrade if you write more than classical music. But if one were strictly classical composition minded a better (rational!) program than Sonar to score with would make more sense to invest in than sonar 8.5 . I look forward to hearing what you are working on!

I own the piano score but I found an accurate score as a midi file on the net and started from there. (That saved a 2 or 3 hours at my pace.) Then I loaded the file into Sonar 8.5 and orchestrated it by assigning instruments to the VSTi called Kontakt 4 and its Vienna Symphony samples. Adjusting velocities / color / and a few notes took 3-4 hours. The most difficult part was creating the final mix which I'm still not 100% happy with.

lovely, touching. A nice song and excellent vocals / lyrics.

Great vocal harmonies!

Hi Richard, there is a contest to make microtonal demo tunes with MOTU. Selection of contestants is over and now we all must make at least 3 microtonal demonstration pieces. The Dance of the Unicorn is in a werckmeister equal beating variant. this prelude is very nice. the descending register pattern is a nice variation. I see you sneak in the left hand :-)

Excellent!!

very different - twitch dance :-)

one of my favorites by you!

one word... Chills.

Nice - I love the rolling piano.

I like this a lot!!

Nice piano solo!

Hi Richard - I don't like being bored :-) I also am experimenting with some success with microtonal music as well. Drop by www.notonlymusic.com and www.chrisvaisvil.com some time. Now.... this is a lovely sensitive piece!

so nice... :-)

Nice!!! You make the piece come alive!
