I like the two chords leading into the chorus. Nice song to be slamming back a few.

Ooh nice Sitar. Been experimenting with one myself. This is nicely done.

Sounds good, what's the tuning?

A wonderful trip with a touch of discomfort........

Well it's cheers from me :)

Like that progression and overall sound.

You'll end uplike Reg.....now don't bogart that bottle pass it over here.....I've got a head like a bears sore arse.........

excellent!! sounds very full and rich,, is this really another tuning? sounds so normal 12 tone to me,, maybe im just getting old, very nice Chris

Is this a version of the Oldfield hit? That tuning sounds very Christmasy!

Nice! That tuning really appeals to me for some reason

So gentle and calming - thanks - nice one

Beautiful. w;-)

very cool Chris,,, happy blizzard day,,, a good time to say around the fireplace and make music perhaps,,, r

I think Norm hit it . . . It sounds like a GREAT new beginning to me too.

Chris,, really cool,,, merry christmas,, here's to a new year of making music r

mmm

Great great Chris, thanks. Have really enjoyed your works this past year.

Happy Baktun, to you. Happy Baktun, to you. Happy Baktun, dear Chris. Happy Baktun, to you. And many more... (Fabulous graphic)

Perfect for the morning after a projected end. Now what?

Very nice! Love that tuning

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!

one word... Chills.
