I agree with ACL

One of the most beautiful pieces of music EVER written. Wonderful arrangement. w;-)

sweet

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.

Sounds lovely, very nicely done!

well done friend,,, it's wonderful piece, and your orchestration it very interesting,,, some questions (and i'll make these as public, in case anyone else is interested in the tech aspects) did you have a digital piano score,, or working from printed manuscript first or perhaps you already know this memorized and broke it out from that? about how long did this process take??? It's a cool thought/work,,, and though i have not done this myself ,, yet,, it looks like a lot of fun.... once again well done,, i am constantly amazed at your creative/musical talents... Richard

The low brass captures the mood of the piece perfectly. Nice interplay between the voices. Well done!

Nice Job Fella! I'll have to check out that link that you sent me. Thanks.

Wonderful job! It all sounds very realistic to me!

This is a frosty little piece, I like the blend and instrument choices

very nice

Cool beans! Love the guitar work here...

Lovely, gentle sounds.

Great synth sounds!

well done I like it.

very cool,,,, and very nice team work

Ha! More like panting than voice. :p

Woah, deep sounds!

Very cool!!! Was the sax, pad, sequences done on the GR-20?

AWESOME COLLAB! Hearing that real sax in there makes me wanna pick my alto back up. Is that pic of 9/11?

very atmospheric - I like your touch Bruce!

nice trip!

very cool! I've not heard Arabic music a capella before! excellent!

great!!!

thank you for flying united :-)

nice work! I like your voice a lot.

Nice - I like the calm.

funky electro - strange sounds from another dimension - nicely done!!

excellent!

I like the vocals and song writing here. A bit post-Beatlesque

Is this Paul's extreme stretch? Nice work!

hey a George tribute would not be a bad thing! This is great version!! Excellent collaboration!

what I did was play two tracks of violin with a viola bow and 1 track of fretless guitar bowed with the viola bow and finger picked with your track. I then noise reduced the takes and sliced them into appropriate loops - with the two styles of playing fretless separate into 4 channels of Sonar's Matrix view. Then I wanted more time so I took your track and reversed it and tacked it onto the end. After that I set up matrix view with the loops and effects into 4 audio channels. (guitar rig, dblue glitch, lexicon reverb, cakewalk amp sim absynth 5 effects and camel space) Some of the clips got effects as well. I then performed matrix view live against your track + reversed track. This left the clips in the audio track - some of those I randomly reversed the audio here and there. Then I mastered and uploaded. One other thing I did to you track was impose a volume envelope and then put a compressor on top - those two things kinda fight it out.

I liked this quartet a lot - better than No. 4. Melodically it just appealed.

yes! this is great Lalo!

love the effects in here.

excellent - sounds like dreamtime. I love it.

I like your guitar work here - especially past 2:10 - an improvisation?

nope - not heard of robert wyatt - or the music of soft machine for that matter that I can remember.

like the harmony vocals a lot!
