Hilarious! Cool that you used home made guitar samples...

quite a unique blend of prog rock and TD-like new-age, something of Stratosfear..

Good One.

Love It!

Beautiful dreamlike sound!

hmm poppy...doesn't pink floyd talk about that alot in their songs?

very nice

so nice percussion

ouch dang! too short! :/

Love that spacey mix - and the great percussion makes a fantastic soundbed for this mystical gem!

Now that's cool... love the hang drums!

I like this... i not sure however what the stringed instrument in the lead is? or supposed to be

Suprise: much shorter than your typical pieces. Not a suprise: Once again, you stretch out to genres 3 clicks beyond the Bell Curve. Is there anything you can't tackle?? Nice work!

wow very well done

Woah, way cool mesh of cultures!

What I find interesting here is the Zurna is Turkish. America buys it's poppy from Turkey. Perhaps the answer to Afgan Economics is for America to buy poppy in Kandanar. Good idea. Thought inspiring piece.

ahahah, this is good! is it desecration or desacralization, though? ;)

Ominous sounds. Dig the sax lines!

Ahh yeah! Sounds like my ideal man - saucy, deep and rich.

What an amazing voice that lady has!! And the way she's able to keep up with the music is quite incredible. ;-) But seriously, very creepy, V., very creepy.

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!
