Are you running a x64 system as I do. Trilogy will not run on Cubase x64 so this cue was done in 32bit. Yes I'm also looking forward to the Trillion update.
I think Eric said around October.

I think "Ray Dio 3 through 6" is a truly amazing piece of "art".
As promised Jan, I have some comments with respect to your tracks. First of all, I can say that it is amazing to find how your music 'grows on me' the more I listen to it. The first time around is like trying a new dish from an exotic country and not being entirely sure if this is going to be appetizing to me or not. The second time, I'm starting to develop a taste for the dish and some of the flavours are definitely pleasing. The third time around and I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't be eating more of the stuff - and more often!
Ray Dio 1 & 2 - eerie, weird, cool, suspenseful and kind of like being in outer space or deep, deep down in the ocean. Tension created, always present eerie overtones, spacey stuff. Brilliant. Ray Dio 1 ends at approximately 3:27 right? If so, I particularly liked the first selection.
Yume - lovely cascading drops of sound, soothing, relaxing, trinkets but I am rather rudely pulled out of my reverie around 1:10 when the pace picks up and wakes me to the day.
Abstraxion - can't find the words for description. First time around I thought hmnn, 'looking from inside a bug' but second time wasn't sure if that actually 'caught' it. Very aptly titled.
Heresy - jazzy with an underlying beat and beat pattern that holds it all together, providing continuity; musical and 'interesting' (I know that's a horrible word to use but I lack vocabulary and besides, I LIKE interesting!). Definitely the most 'structured' of the 4 pieces and therefore probably my favorite although, strangely, it can be difficult to choose.
My husband was listening and felt your music has influences from Frank Zappa. I've never listened to Frank Zappa so I would have no way of knowing. Would you feel that there may be 'Zappa' influences in your music?
Thanks for the experience - and I hope you feel complemented when I say that because an experience goes beyond mere sensation. I am always open to new experiences - or at least I try to be - and so I thank you for giving me one!
Your music does challenge me Jan but I am willing to have an open mind, to learn and to attempt comprehension of something that is unfamiliar. Please be patient with me however; it does take me time to absorb new things. I will put aside a day this week and I will get back to you with my 'feedback' or my 'response.' Have a great day!
Hey Jan, welcome to the forum. I really dig Ray Dio haha, really cool stuff in there. Really set me back 15 years to when I was still playing in the avant garde jazz scene. I love the end of that piece, the last 2 mins or so. Anyhow welcome to the forum, I hope you get into some discussions! There is a great need for perspective in our discussions from a thoughtful and free mind like yourself

Brilliant! Period!
Finally got around to it. Absolutely love GODZ EATZ Shiodome Sequence, by the way.
Seriously though, once I learnt the basics, it was play for me too.
