Glad you liked Holy Wind. Had to work on my bass for a few days...things had gone awry.

indeed, you don't need autotune at all ;)

Oh, deliciously offbeat! You always surprise me!

Mystical and beautiful.

very poignant - could/should be in a film

Ahh, very tenderly sung and played. Why would you need autotune anyway?

Woah, improvisation!? Awesome!!!

I don't use autotune either, though collaborators have been known to serlap some on me. Very rude. :-) This is very pretty...and I can't see where you'd need tuning. Lovely, intimate vocal.

psychedelic vid man. voodoo metal turns me on........

Heavy as Hell!

Awesome

Powerful words, rockin' guitar and vox!

Sorry, you used a viola bow on your guitar?! thats sick! such a wicked sound!

totally Poe-esque! theatrical, dramatic and crazy (yes, we want more crazyness!) ;)

beautiful piece indeed..

This is wonderful. I kept thinking about it last night. I love the story telling delivery, so descriptive and yet without emotion.

Your levels of creativity are off the charts. Edgar Allen Poe on Helium balloons is an extraordinary thought. Keep'em coming!!

What an enchanting voice, most compelling. Very spooky, well chosen music.

!!!!!!! I don't think we're in Kansas any more. Great music - super atmospheric!

haha this was weird and delicious...enjoyed it.

nice, really nice!

Hi - I enjoyed this composition very much. I would like to mention though that the volume was very low. So much so I have to normalize it to listen reasonably. Do you lack software to do this type of manipulation? (or was this on purpose?) In any event this piece impressed me enough to go through your series of sonatas!

I enjoyed playing on this thanks Norm! - no guitars harmed in the improvisation

nice progression

welcome! And excellent track!

Aengus is all Ethno 2.

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.
