"As a singer/chorister (Bass), it would really help to have a score to see where the breaks are. What size of choir are you looking at? Notewise, it sounds fine, but I'm not sure about the management of dynamics. 'mmm' sounds are not…"

"Lovely ambient track. Can add anything to the composition, but i did enjoy the overall sound. The piano was very mellow, as you were aiming for, and the light strings gave a relaxing balance. Just what I needed to start my day, thanks"

"I'm sure there's no way to regulate it, but voting for your own work is inconceivable in my humble opinion. What's the point of entering yourself if you can't accept that another composers work is better than yours? It defeats…"

"Count me in. It's months since I've created a new piece. Will enjoy the focus. P.s. it's good to be back.."

"My first request is for you to repost as 4 mp3 files so that I can listen when I'm out and about. It's a work that clearly requires multiple listening in order to fully appreciate the sheer scale of the piece. My second request is for you…"

"Very nice indeed. Nothing particularly new or innovative in it, which is a strength for this piece. The production is great, very atmospheric, realistic and satisfying. I wonder who Tom was...."

"Just back from annual leave to find the fundraising is making progress. There's 30 from me in the pot, and very happily given as well. This is a great site and deserves so much more support. Thinking about it, I wouldn't mind if we had to…"

"I'll happily donate if it keeps the site going. I have no objections if you need to find a cheaper provider, and possibly have to change the layout if it's a necessary consequence. Whilst I don't post much, I am an avid reader and…"

"Well done to everyone who took part and thanks for those who voted and commented, across the competition. It was a hard choice to choose my own favourite this year. Everyone had something unique in their work and I remain envious of the talent…"

"Make it three Gav. I'm in."

"Hi Gav Nice to see you playing with a larger ensemble. I like the general sound of this. No idea where it's going but it really invokes (in my mind anyway) a wander through a gallery or a dinner party with a load of different images, smells and…"

"I could listen to this all night. In asking, where does it go from here, I think it's already on a journey. You could easily fill another 20 minutes of delightful ambient sounds, with or without a huge dynamic range. I suspect you have the…"
