Well done!

"Hi Saul,
Impressive work. The string orchestra has a very realistic sound, although set in a rather overwhelmingly hoge ambience. What I miss is some variation in playing techniques. You've mainly used the percussive bowings in all sorts of…"
"Hi Fabio,
Very well done indeed. Nice setting and good orchestration. A pity that it ends so soon. You mentioned your reasons for this, but it could go on quite a while longer...

"Thank you for this Jos,
Interesting the way you work. I also use Studio One in addition to other programs. My only use for Notion has been to print a graphic representation of work in Studio One. It might be fun to transfer a score from…"
"Yes, Timothy, Iv' been a pretty longtime user of Notion. However, this piece was only a mock-up in my DAW, Notion was not involved. (I had a printed original Beethoven score.) When I compose a piece, I always do it with the help of Notion. I…"
"Jos, I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Thoughts and prayers go out to you in dealing with this most difficult time. I recently lost my father. It was a harrowing time.
Most of the time I think simple in a mix is best. I think I read…"
"Hi Gerd,
That is indeed the more 'mature' Beethoven: very thoughtful and elaborate. You did a splendid orchestration job again. I love the instrumentation and the question-answer style in which the woodwinds play a beautiful role. Well…"
"Never I would assume, that these are digitally rendered sounds! So natural - very good, Jos! But I also never had guessed that this is from Beethoven ... sounds more like very early Haydn or so ... I am juast about to present here another…"

Beethoven, Serenata Op. 25, Menuet
Dear friends,It's been a while... My mother is slowly passing away (90 years) with cancer. So I've been busy with caring tasks and supporting her during these days. To distract a bit from this sad occupation, I reworked in detail an earlier mock-up with the simplest tools: 3 VSL instruments, the Vienna Suite convolution (Schubert Saal) and tail reverb. That's all.This is a sonic pre-study for a new piece (for viola, cello and flute) that comes next.…See More

"Dance of the Midnight Mouse was my absolute favorite from the beginning.
I can't publish my notes here, since they were in Dutch and translating everything would be very time consuming.
Anyway, such a contest opens our view on different styles…"

Hi Jos,
It’s fastlane(Phil) from the defunct Garritan forum. I’m glad to see you on here. I became a member years ago but I haven’t been active for some time. The prodigal son returns I guess. :)
