so cool, thank you!

I do love oriental sounding music. This is quite dreamy and very nicely done.

Excellent.

Fascinating sounds!

haunting.

Norm's percussions were very inspiring, and your playing blends in so smoothly, a delicious piece, very creative, with lots of images from Sahrzad palace..

this hit me as simply beautiful, first time i've heard it back at tis. and it hasn't changed a bit, since then. the marriage of the flute and the guitar is so moving..

Fantastic song.

really takes on an Flyodish feel ( animals?) around 130

I like the Moody Blues sounding wind on this. Very cool.

Ha ha, you got it in and we get the juicey details.

Awesome production.

Ah, that's cool!

less is more! Beautiful

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! w;-)

Thanks for posting this, Chris. 2 hours of Chicago radio air time - sweet. You did a great job of music selection. Alas, I did miss hearing your personal commentary on the second hour, but it says something that the radio station thought enough of your work to feature it over a 2 week period.

Very cool!

Excellent! It's great to hear you back on the keys - I've missed it.

Slinks along wonderfully!

That bass is simply too cool. I love what you have done with this pattern. Almost has an eastern feel in places... Having grown up near Winfield, KS (home of Dorothy), I can assure you that they have never heard anything like this before - they'd love it! They'd probably bake you a pie for the opportunity to do a little "scat" vocalization on the mix, and, afterwards, while tending to the livestock, they would ponder about the possibility of there actually being 3 kinds of music: country, Western & JAZZ.

Awesome!!! This is so perfect!

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!
