"Exactly! I actually wrote a slow moving melancholy piece on harp that directly follows this. Its beautiful and spacious but I haven't orchestrated it yet so I left it out. This definitely would benefit from some valleys to accompany the massive…"

"Hi Sean, Congratulations.  Mind blowing music... My teacher had told me once, 'when you finish school you shall forget everything you have learned at the school!' So there is nothing wrong or right I guess.   One point…"

"I enjoyed this. Its fun and has a Celtic/medieval spirit that took my imagination. Thanks for sharing!"

"It's brilliant. I know the sorrow that is in this piece. All I can say is I'm right there with you and I appreciate your honesty."

"Wow, Note Performer looks cool! I multi track with midi in Logic which is an entirely different animal. I'm interested in writing a piece using the traditional scoring approach so I may try this software out. Perhaps it will result in a more…"

"SICK"

"yea flutes need some attention there.  Honestly that was a part I played early on and never got back to to tweaking the articulations. Im going to keep working on this. The mix was tricky as certain instruments just wouldn't cut through…"

"that shit is dope.. Yea right up my alley. I don't know a lot about Lalo but have heard his name and music a few times. He's definitely 100% an inspiration. Im going to listen to some of his stuff today."

"Thanks 8! Yea I thought the intro like has a Danny Elfman feel for sure. I appreciate for your feedback!"

"very nice and evolving by the second... I was reminded of movies like "Edward scissorhands" and "A series of unfortunately events". for a the first piece it deserve much praise."
