only 32 secs in and this is hooking me hard and fast....visions of sleazy alleys rainsoaked streets and snap brim fedoras above a trenchcoat mac...great job guys.

Kicks Serious Ass! w;-)

This rules! Love the bass and that Beck/Zappa hybrid sounding guitar. Solid!!!

Way to push the envelope, Chris! Very nice work.

I just LOVE that fretless guitar!

very cool, i really like all the different approaches you are taking to music making,,it's giving me a lot to think on

Well done. Fascinating description of your process!

That's some ear bending stuff!

very interesting

quite dramatic, it's a very symphonic like sound,, i enjoyed this

You make that Roland sound like an entire symphony! Sis is right, quite menacing.

Wonderful cinematic sounds! Internal sounds from the GR20 or using it to send midi?

Very unsettling! Powerful stuff, sounds kinda like a horror movie soundtrack.

Pretty cool, WIP or otherwise!

considering it still is in wip stage, this rocks!! poor girl, i feel sorry for her..

very interesting and offbeat in a good way.

Quirkily harmonic. This one sounds like it deserves a music video (and a really strange one at that.)

soooooo koool awesomely jamtastic

Good one.

Sweetness!

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!

wow every piece I hear is really good! My hat is off to you Lalo Oceja!
