Take Flight

This is the sort of composition I like. Involving and complex. Chord extensions appearing and dissapearing. There is a transient dreamy quality about it. Technically i do not like the hard left and...

It's quite nice- the tune is very much like many folksongs. Considering the instrument, perhaps you could put the melody in the lower register once at some place for contrast.

Perfect for an overcast Sunday Afternoon!. Good sounding recording as well. Must be nice to have the Wife on hand for recording such things. Makes me want to record a guitar quartet.

Nice, Reminds me of Ernest Bloch's masterful "Schelomo" for cello and orchestra. That's good company to be in.

A short piece that I wrote yesterday. We have recorded a fairly rough version today. Still a few kinks to work out but I thought you guys might want to give it a whirl. Cellos played my wife Deryn. Cheers Dan

Well, the stage samples sound wonderful and I think you've used them very well. Overall a nicely crafted, well balanced piece which does exactly what it says on the tin. I think it's fair to say that writing something in a very particular style an...

Hi Dan & Deryn,

You've got a nice selection of music up here. I especially like your Concerto for Strings in D Cullen. :-). Sorry I couldn't resist it.
It would be great played by real strings. The violin sound is grainy and washing in reverb but I know the difficulties with vsti's.
I'll have a listen to some more later.
