"Better late than never - I use Ilio Entertainment's "Symphony of Voices" - it has lots of choral venues. "Spectrasonoics" may be another name for this."

Norbert Oldani commented on Emily Bond's blog post Caffeinated Piano #8

"Hi Emily,
I like what I have heard of your recent piano works , "Caffeinated Piano". They sound very difficult to play like some Baroque Toccatas; good luck with these pieces."

Amazing works

Hi Norbert, thanks for asking. I haven't found a violinist yet, but I've been really busy. I decided to change the name to Nocturne, sort of a cover-all name because I can't think of anything else. I'm a bit nervous about getting the "right" violinist, never having done such a thing before.
Emily Bond May 7, 2011 at 12:15pm

Thank you, Norbert. I gave it this title because it was to accompany a reading of Rilke's poem "Lament," but I do think you're right that isn't quite what the piece is expressing. And I do need to venture out into my music community and find some reliable instrumentalists.

Hi norbert, thanks for adding me as a friend. You have some really interesting work.quite a variety too.happy composing!
Lennart Östman February 20, 2011 at 4:13am

Thanks for adding me as a friend Norbert. I find your music interesting and look forward to exploring it further!
Andrew Gleibman February 9, 2011 at 12:30pm

Hi Norbert, thanks for your friend request. Your Resurrection, with these portamento clusters (if I am not mistaken) is very interesting and keeping attention, I believe this is a genre called Lounge misic, or Ambient. Is it improvisation as well? Impressing!

Hey,

I enjoyed your musical compositions. Silverlake reminds me of Vangelis. When you compose, do you have preconceived notions as to what you will write or is it an experiment with sound until you come across something that peaks your interest to develop further.
