About Me:

Prolific and versatile composer,
I find this forum quite amusing at times...Some really nasty people on here, some really conceited people on here and some really childish people on here!
I suppose that that's the nature of the beast when you collect so many composers and pretend composers together!

New Orchestra!

Well I don't suppose I could put it off for ever!

Something very tiresome and demanding about taking on students or leading an orchestra...

I decided to take the latter and control an orchestra who are very excited I hear!

Let's see how excited they are as I put them through their paces shall we?

Just kidding!
It should be fun

Damned hard work I mean!

always your biggest fan, i could learn alot from you, but i am prone to deluding myself.... your music is very instructive, if only i had some talent as a student

hugs

It’s language that comes much later. Surly music can reach us that far back in our psyche experience. I really like the serene feeling I get listening to your music. I’m working with a friend on a piece at the moment mixing Dub Reggae, Indian and Klezmer genres.

At 12:42pm on March 30, 2009, Matt Le Mare said…: Hi

Thank for inviting me. I've listened to your music and I enjoyed it. You seem to have combined producing emotional moving and stirring music with a strong sense of stillness. It seems to have a modern element to the harmony which was interesting…

At 12:39pm on February 21, 2009, Doug Lauber said…: I'm listening to 82, 1st now. (82!!!)
You've written 82 and I've... I'm still taking baby steps.
I love the pauses in your music. They create a feeling of 'ease' and a mature confidence. This 82/1st flows well. I'll definitely be back to do more listening here.

Thanks again.

At 11:32pm on February 15, 2009, Deborah Young said…: Thanks! I just posted a short piano piece in the Music Dissection forum. Please check it out if you get a chance.

Also, is your "partner" on this network too? If so, who is she?

Thanks.

At 12:56pm on February 14, 2009, David Cortello said…: Hi Christopher -Simon Godden said he believed you worked with Sibelius and East West. I'm currently using Finale and generally satisfied with it, but I want to move up to a better library (Finale comes with the Garritan Personal Orchestra), such as East-West or Vienna. However, I know nothing about getting my finished score to play with one of these libraries. Do you have to manually play your score a part at a time into your sequencer, or does Sibelius just play it right off the score using the library of your choice. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated - including info on equipment. I currently work on an Mac G5, but when I score over twenty instruments in a piece I have lots of playback trouble, so consequently I'm looking into some upgrades in that area, also.

Thanks, David Cortello
