Hi all,Having recently joined this fascinating community, it seemed that the best way to introduce myself, is to share some of my music. The following pieces are all in my playlist, but I've linked…Continue

"Frederick, Ray, Vlad, thanks very much.   Vlad, good point and one that I agree with entirely. However, I can’t agree with the examples you’ve chosen to illustrate that point. “Ism’, to me, lasts precisely as long as it…"

"Hi, Piet. Welcome to Forum, you are very talented: nice "Aquarel", grotesque "Ism", interesting ideas in "Bagatell" but all of this need to have some development that name "composition" (except Aquarel). You…"

"Very impressive. How you managed the ragtime without sounding like the IS ragtime for 11 instruments is quite a feat. I like all of the things Ive heard here, possibly the Concertino the best of all. Very sophisticated interplay between soloist and…"

"Greg, Ray Chris, thanks. Chris, You're right of course. It's always been obvious to me as well that the virtual jazz stylings in ReBop are wholly unsatisfactory. It's just that I've always had an irrational affection for the…"

"Really great work man, I enjoyed it very much! Well except for ReBop, which just sounded pretty ridiculous once the trumpet starts soloing, not even remotely real sounding. If you send me chart and stems minus sax and trumpet I might be able to have…"

"Oh my, Self Portrait is just amazing. It has a certain psychotic quality that worked like some of Hellsing OST tracks when I first heard them - a constant, madman grin thorough the piece. Couldn't help it :D Checking the rest right now,…"

"Thanks very much everyone. Janet, sorry to hear about the problems. Let's hope it's just a temporary hiccup. Andrew, I play all the notes live (and tweak them afterwards, if necessary anyway, in Logic's Matrix window). I don't…"

"Beautiful! Do you play live any of these sampled insruments, or everything is generated from a (traditional) notation automatically?"

Spiros Makris replied to Piet De Ridder's discussion By way of introduction, some music
"I loved Aquarel, wish it was longer. Bagatelle bring in mind scenes I can't easily describe, maybe some old movie? The start brought in mind some old, classic cartoon sequences. Tri was nice too, a bit not my taste, but still good.Charleston…"

"Welcome, Piet. I'm new here, myself. Unfortunately,I couldn't seem to listen to your music. The links in this post took me to a generic Yahoo page. I tried the player in your profile, and that didn't work for me either! I'll…"

By way of introduction, some music

Hi all,Having recently joined this fascinating community, it seemed that the best way to introduce myself, is to share some of my music. The following pieces are all in my playlist, but I've linked to them here as well, with a short description. Thanks very much for listening.IsmA short piece for sampled and modeled instruments which shows my adoration for Stravinsky's music, in this case his chamber music.…See More
