I *think* this is final version of my 4th MOTU demo
- I will see what comments I get, if any.
This is a short, more or less middle eastern-ish piece using the Zurna tuning and Mark of the Unicorn Ethno 2 sample set in Sonar. I performed (and…

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!

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.

Last Christmas my collaborator and fuzzy inspiration Charlie passed over the rainbow bridge - he was very old for a ferret 9 or 10 years old. He was adopted from a shelter and remained a touch-me-not independent ferret all his life with us…

very cool,,,,, actually only a few K yes? been a few years since i was in astrophysics,,, actually i am a physicist by trade geo rather than astro,,, but hey,, this is a fun piece
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!
CROSS-OVER POLYRHYTHMS
This is actually a type of enharmonic polymeter, where 2 rhythms with **different meters** (i.e., a different numbers of beats/measure) are played at the **same tempo**: the measures do not line up each time. These rhythms…
Many nebulae form from the gravitational collapse of gas in the interstellar medium. As the material collapses under its own weight, massive stars may form in the center, and their ultraviolet radiation ionises the surrounding gas, making it visible…

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.
Sung By John B - he also does most of the instrumentation. My contribution is simply that I wrote the lyrics and composed the music, and if you listen closely I play the guitar parts. A cross Atlantic collaboration.

NOTE --- you may need to turn up the volume a bit for this...

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.
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 :-)
Wanna go for a ride? Hop on in! (Many thanks to JQScutt for his excellent guitar work!)

Took sandbag's [Andromeda 1](http://alonetone.com/sandbags/tracks/andromeda-1) and applied some BigSeq2 and LiveCut.
Added a little FM8 underneath.

Ominous sounds. Dig the sax lines!
Ahh yeah! Sounds like my ideal man - saucy, deep and rich.

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?

excellent collab!!
nice work - very rich - listened to it several times.

Great vocal harmonies!
