always your biggest fan, i could learn alot from you, but i am prone to deluding myself.... your music is very instructive, if only i had some talent as a student

It’s language that comes much later. Surly music can reach us that far back in our psyche experience. I really like the serene feeling I get listening to your music. I’m working with a friend on a piece at the moment mixing Dub Reggae, Indian and Klezmer genres.

Thank for inviting me. I've listened to your music and I enjoyed it. You seem to have combined producing emotional moving and stirring music with a strong sense of stillness. It seems to have a modern element to the harmony which was interesting…

At 12:39pm on February 21, 2009, Doug Lauber said…: I'm listening to 82, 1st now. (82!!!)
You've written 82 and I've... I'm still taking baby steps.
I love the pauses in your music. They create a feeling of 'ease' and a mature confidence. This 82/1st flows well. I'll definitely be back to do more listening here.

At 11:38pm on February 15, 2009, Deborah Young said…: P.S.: I'm astounded when people get that I'm writing folk songs, because I really don't have a folk voice (just shows you were really listening.

Thanks again.

At 11:32pm on February 15, 2009, Deborah Young said…: Thanks! I just posted a short piano piece in the Music Dissection forum. Please check it out if you get a chance.

Also, is your "partner" on this network too? If so, who is she?

Thanks.

At 12:56pm on February 14, 2009, David Cortello said…: Hi Christopher -Simon Godden said he believed you worked with Sibelius and East West. I'm currently using Finale and generally satisfied with it, but I want to move up to a better library (Finale comes with the Garritan Personal Orchestra), such as East-West or Vienna. However, I know nothing about getting my finished score to play with one of these libraries. Do you have to manually play your score a part at a time into your sequencer, or does Sibelius just play it right off the score using the library of your choice. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated - including info on equipment. I currently work on an Mac G5, but when I score over twenty instruments in a piece I have lots of playback trouble, so consequently I'm looking into some upgrades in that area, also.

Thanks, David Cortello

At 7:56am on February 14, 2009, Deborah Young said…: Chris, I'm listening to the violin concerto no. 2 right now. It's soothing.

I came to your page because I've read about you elsewhere. Right now I only have two songs posted here, and I'm working on instrumentals right now. I'm a musical late bloomer with high aspirations, and I'm looking to meet folks with business and music tech knowledge.

Have had a bit of theory training, and I compose using my Korg 01/WFD (although I'm trying to put together a budget for a DAW and software such as East West (probably orchestra-related and rock instruments).

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

BTW, your player is on the second song now. I could listen to this music all day (although classical isn't my main musical interest).

At 5:51am on December 11, 2008, Fernando Vazquez said…: Interesting works. I note a predominant baroque influence with some form of minimal basso continuo.....very nice. Where did you study?

At 2:25pm on November 3, 2008, Carlos da Silveira said…: Hi Christopher and thanks for your comments! I´ve been out for a while and didn´t check this site often. I will be back soon and promise to listen to your music with attentions. Best

At 7:01pm on October 29, 2008, Mike Torr said…: Hi Christopher, and thanks for the great feedback! Nice to have the encouragement, as my Music for the Media course is slow going right now. I've been a little distracted: I hope to have an album out before Christmas - I've been working on it for about 15 months now. It's a kind of Blues/Rock/Funk/Jazz/Latin/Ambient/Ballad personal story concept album thing... yes, I'm not quite sure who I am :\ Anyway, once I get that nailed I'm going to concentrate more on orchestral stuff and finishing the course.

At 6:39pm on October 29, 2008, David Beard said…: All my best wishes Christopher.
Wishing you continued success with your music - its beautiful!
Keep in touch

At 1:38pm on October 29, 2008, Mike Torr said…: Hi Christopher, nice to meet you. You make well-written and sometimes also haunting music. I especially enjoyed "Skopadiddle". 80 symphonies! :-O

At 8:06am on October 28, 2008, Per-Erik Rosqvist said…: Hey!
Interesting with an 80th symphony :) I think you're close to Haydn soon :)

Will listen through your work on the page, and try to leave a comment on all of it, if I am able. If not, just on the my favourites.

At 5:42pm on October 24, 2008, ahmadjawadi said…: Thank you Christopher for explaining,
In fact the samples are good enough but still the same problem with the strings.
For me I have to inter my head into the software to get the sounds because not always I have the chance to play with the life instruments, if you listen to my tracks you'll notice that many of them are mixed between the life and the samples; you know I live in the west and we don't have here professional oriental musicians, if you listen to track nr. 3, 8 or 11 you'll understand what I mean,
Have a nice weekend in my lovely country UK,
Ahmad

Thank you very much for your beautiful comment,
Now I'm listening to your beautiful music; it is really nice and very good written, can you tell me please which software do you use for creating the orchestral sounds? No I'm listening to the 6th track; so cool and fantastic harmony and orchestration.
My best regards and have a nice weekend,
Ahmad
