It must have been a huge rush to hear your music come alive. Did you do a synth mock-up? You saying these students sight-read your stuff down cold after 5 minutes will give the RMALA big headaches at the other end! Bravo!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the new tracks. All the stuff - the orchestration/editing/mixing/mastering is me - I have to answer for all of it. :) A good engineer is something I am currently on the hunt for (along with a good entertainment lawyer) - I spend a lot of time editing midi, mixing, etc, which I could pass off in favor of spending more time composing. While I really enjoy those aspects, I do have a bit of a case of 'do-it-all-itis', plus a good second set of ears is invaluable.

At 2:30pm on June 7, 2007, Steve O Sample said…: Although I was a composition faculty member, I was really never interested in composing. I much preferred teaching theory and arranging. To paraphrase Artie Shaw, 'you write it and I'll see what I can do with it.'

"what's that over there?!

I still need to sign up for Smalley if there's still room. Hey, I'll be in Toronto early next month, and I've never been! Can I prime you for info?

At 1:43am on June 6, 2007, Chris Merritt said…: The "something" clef! What was it Smalley called it? The nimbus clef? The X clef? He was really pushing that idea, though...
