Very Different But I like it. You have a lot going on in the back, but ti works. I will have to say that the midi sax doesn't work though. I've found thateven in GB, the sax doesn't cut it. I usuall y substitude with an irish whistle i got from an add on pack (all GB midi sounds are sampled). Anyway, try mixing that instruments... even laying two identical tracks, using a different instrument for each. Just play around with it. |

Would Would have loved hearing this with a live orchestra! It is sad but computer saxophones are so far away from the real thing. This is a really nice compostion! |

Cool, dark piece Having heard "would love to hear a real orchestra play this" myself a few times, I will not make that comment here. In fact, I can hear the real ensemble, see the dancers and imagine the real alto wailing on this. I can see why this is a crowd-pleaser performed live. It has a great build and tension and sensuality to it. I see red! 10-9-10-10 |

... I enjoy a wide variety of music, and different music seems to appeal to different parts of me. This is music for my head first and foremost (the inner cerebral part, not the noggin itself), followed closely by a very subtle sway in my shoulders. What you are doing here with rhythm is responsible for both responses. I'm fascinated by how each and every instrument in the percussion section seems to strike on a beat that is both expected and surprising at the same time. It rides on that edge between the two really well. I don't understand how that's done. The melodic line that the sax has some of that character too ("what note will it leap to next? (pregnant pause) Ah, of course!") One of the interesting things about your music is the duality of classical and jazz. It leaves me wondering, when listening to one of your pieces, how much was composed in advance and how much was improvised. I can see the sax being either in this piece. I think the MIDI performance stands in the way of letting this piece reach its full potential. If you could somehow rope enough graduate students into learning this, you could push it up to the next level. |

Hey Clark I like the breadth of ideas, here! Wide and expressive. Each voice is apparent and discernible. Nice ambling feel. Casual yet deliberate direction. |

Wow! Spooky I'm glad I was listening with the lights on! A very spooky feel to it, yet, somehow very compelling, and intriguing. Thanks! |
An enjoyable listen, very dramatic. I really like the composition, but the midi sax just doesn't cut it. A real sax, or even an oboe (!) maybe...
