Sounds 15th century to me. I think the beauty of this lovely piece is the fact that apart from it being beautifully played, it is timeless. A piece that doth posess wondrous endurance.

This is the sort of stuff Jane Austen listened to while she penned Elizabeth Bennet's growing affection for Mr Darcy. Lovely!

Wow, awesome closing credits sound!

No shit! The build into the unknown makes me wish there was another five minutes tacked on the end.

Killer guitar!! Kind of as a "There goes my girl" feel to it. Very cool!

most excellent! something post-Waters in sounding and creativity, and the tortured vocal is totally unexpected, inventive and grabs the listener attention firmly!

What a tremendous and full sound. Awesome as they say.

really good!!!!!!!

Scorching guitar playing. Ooooo that's a great change up at 3:00. Spooky.

Wild rock'n out mix.

Awesome tones!

Nice ax work!

Sit back, relax, smoke'em if ya got'em. This is well worth the time.

Dark, very dark. I like it! w;-)

Love those vocalisations later on in the track also. Epic, fellas, very cleverly done! Just so pro.

Deep, dark, and definitely Floydy!

Crikey, that's powerful! Gets the attention on the first second. Outstanding, I am not often speechless!

Very Atom Heart Mother, good job!

Just beautiful. Nice work, gents!

so cool, thank you!

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.
