"Thank you Adrian, it has been a very steep hill climbing and working on my skills in writing music. I think i'd count this as my first real foot hold in composing music on a large scale, there is still a lot of work to go but its a start!…"

"Well done. I think you have risen to the challenge and all your hard work has paid off. Your skills will develop as you grow older but this is a very good start. For example I might have introduced the section in the tonic major half way through…"

Wow 15 years old, what a brilliant composer and performer. I've never heard a composer able to blend so much history in one piece as you do. From Classical to Jazz to Ragtime and I think I even hear some Spanish or Flamenco in there. Truly you have the knowlege of the ages and the performing skill to pull it off. I'm confident you have a huge future in music.

hey Jonathan! I was just listening through your pieces, and I *really* like "Night Dance" (guitars). I'd love to hear this on actual classical guitars. Very soothing & picturesque, if music can be picturesque :P

I'm using Cubase Studio 5 for composing, and for the instrument libraries, I have East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra, and Stormdrum 2.

I have a friend who has that mix too, except Malay so i don't think it's too strange =) That's very cool.

I saw you were having one of your pieces performed! If you want to add it as music on here with Finale Notepad:

Open the file, make sure it will play through without borking up!
Go to windows Moviemaker, find "narrate timeline" and click that.
Under input: put stereo mix
hit record
hit play on finale
then hit stop on Movie maker when the song is through.

you will then be prompted to save the .wav file. You can use iTunes to convert it or windows audio converter to MP3 (Because MP3 is way better lol) and then upload it here ^___^ U can also put it on you MP3 player in this way.
