But what would be lacking is human interpretation and realistic and idiomatic sound. Yeah the range of the instrument would be greater with a synth imitating it, but it would have to give up somethings that only real flutes can do; such as the tim...
Very seldom... Frankly speaking, my music interests today are too specific to have enough opportunities of listening live performances. On the other hand, there exists plenty of good records. The paradox is, we all subconsciously reject digital su...
Do you yourself enjoy going to live performances Andrew? If you do, often in a year do you go? If you don't go terribly often, what are the factors that hold you back? Myself, I very much enjoy live orchestra but budget constraints and living quit...
I agree live performance makes the composition live, but using advanced synthesisers you can really perform live. Imagine a flute with 88 keys. With breath controller this is at least as good as a real flute and even more...
I dont think the Orchestra is going away. True, the orchestra is not doing well, but that is due to the economy and professional orchestras around the world going bankrupt.
The majority of concert composers do not use DAW or synthesizers. Most wor...
I have a feeling that symphonic orchestras will be extinct. A few hundreds years ago so called "horn orchestras" were widespread, where each instrument, and of course the musician who was usually a slave, could perform only a single note by the co...
I like it too. Interesting atonal textrures, very good expression of the technological sounds, rich usage of the instruments etc. I see here a problem related to the music form. Real traffic sounds are boring and you expressed this good. But the m...

Christoforos Christofi said… - Hello Mr Andrew,
I would like to thank you for your time on my piece. I just needed an opinion for this style of music in which I am experimenting right now.. As a matter of fact the Vsti you didn't recognise is Finale's Kontakt Alto sax. I'm experimenting in some kind of chilling out music and didn't find anything soother.
Thanks again for your time and advise.

Lori Sweeney said… - Andrew your music is so cool! Dark, eerie, suspenseful. Even the pieces you'd expect to sound somewhat cheerful by their title are surprisingly and refreshingly the exact opposite! Awesome!

Stephen Barry said… - Thank you very much for your comment! It's probably the best piece of advice I have gotten related to my music. You've definitely given me some sound pointers. A few people have told me that some of my sound elements have been a bit too loud, or need some adjusting in passing...I'm still in the process of working on that aspect of my work (I think I need some better headphones, perhaps)..."Time" is part of a project that I'm going to finish next year, and I'm in agreement, I may need to add some more to it, particularly in the first half. Thank you again, and I will be back to listen to your work soon!

Patrik Ohlsson said… - I'm glad you enjoyed my music, it's a long story behind The Leningrad Clarinet, written about in my blog here on composers forum. I'm very inspired by the northern environment and the fact that you truly get to enjoy every season to its fullest here, unlike further south. When the snow starts falling I'm sure you'll here more winter-inspired pieces;)
The clarinet and piano improvisation is a studio recording, if you would call my 150$ mic, 150$ sound card and decent computer a studio. I improvised the piano part and studied the harmonies realtime while recording the clarinet track. It's a great training for all musicians to practice dynamic adaption, harmonics and feel for mood in realtime!
I'll listen to your music and leave a comment later!
All the best
Patrik
