"I would only remark that with the orchestra that I have listened to in person for years, the Contrabasses have been lined up along the right end of the ensemble, stage-front to stage-back behind the celli. But their sound will certainly project…"
"Forgot to mention that it surely depends on sound system. The effect I hear is only relevant for headphones. Using loudspeakers, both ears will hear the bass although everything comes from the right.

"Thank you Kelly. I had been in the habit of keeping the separation much tighter than this until getting complaints from people (in this forum, in fact), that the separation needed to be much wider. Yours is the first such feedback I've had. I…"

This work I find really great. It is sort of total, it contains everything. It has melodies, rhythm, orchestra, solos. Very impressive work.

"I had to chuckle. Somebody at KVR pointed out that the final passages of this piece were more reminiscent of Bernstein's "Cool", from West Side Story. Damn! He's right! I'd been totally unaware."
"I was thinking of Bartok's Miraculous Mandarin as an inspiration. The writing isn't nearly as complex as in that "miraculous" piece, but then, I'm not nearly the genius that Bartok was.

"Well, it sounds a bit like Bartok, also Shostakovitch in his more furious moments a la Symphony 10. Yep, pretty furious.

"Very, very nice. Leaves ya a bit hanging, though."
"Thanks, Gavin. Ultimately, I'm going to want to post some of my recent stuff. Where would be the most appropriate place to do this? Introduce yourself? Or maybe Miscellaneous?"
"I listened to a few of your pieces, and found them delightful, beautiful, varied, very competently composed and engineered, and highly worthy of showcasing.

"Off topic for Gavin: I have belonged to this forum for awhile and would like to be able to find my way back to the home page to post new topics and see what other topics are there, but I've lost that bookmark. Can you help me?"
"IMO, I think you are all talking about the quality of the melodies you have heard. "Melody" is the element that is sadly neglected in much of commercial music, these days. I'm outraged by the Law And Order soundtracks, with the Mike Post…"
"How well you depicted the inside of a cat's mind! An amazing piece of music!"
