"Hi, Gavin – thank you for reminding us of the value of short-form composition. I enjoyed each one of the ten. I appreciated your incorporating the harmony and stylistic vocabularies Frank noted. Two more points…. I found your use of meter and rhythm…"
"Hi, Gavin - thank you so much for listening and for your critique. Some of my local people have said the same, “nice rhythm track…. now finish it!”
If I do add melody it will be, as you say, above the range of the riffing instruments, and I would…"

"Hi Raymond,
This certainly has a progressive rock vibe to it, and some interesting harmony. Overall it strikes me as a rhythmic track, not a whole composition. I wanted to hear some kind of melodic element on top of and higher in the register than…"

"Bravo, bravo, yikes, bravo! The newer version worked better for me because the wind-down to nothing felt better paced.....maybe due to it coming from the fireworks show (to borrow HS Tech's phrase). Also, I feel a stronger rythmic conviction in the…"
"Hi, Saul - I enjoyed this piece when I listen to it last week, then again tonight, this time knowing a little bit how you approach composition (your reply to Frank). I think your points are spot on. Nice work here. --Ray "
"Rick - this is lovely. I agree with other positive comments about the harmonies and especially the textural developent. The Beatles came to mind instantly. The sudden morphing into Johann Strauss-meets-Richard Rodgers is very, very cool. The bass…"
"Hi, Frank - congrats on the Novation controller. I'm impressed with the Novation brand the same way you are. I looked at some pics and I like the square piano-type key shape. At some point when you post a piece using the device I'll be interested…"
"Ray - I somehow almost missed this third movement - too much traffic on the site lately, LOL! I don't know what I can say that I didn't for the other two movements, i.e loved the intricacy and inventiveness and creative daring of all three. Oh, and…"
"Hi, Frank- yes, I recommend them. I have the open back DT880 for hifi listening. For tracking in the studio and mixing I have the dt770 closed back. Both neither seem to emphasize nor attenuate any particular frequency. Both make music listening…"
"A lovely parade of themes, variations, modal changes, executed with very interesting effects. I had to listen twice. A lot of ideas so effortlessly packed into five minutes. Clever pause in the final cadence....how is he going to end it? .... and…"
"Absolutely - Thanks!"
"I listened four or five times, with the Beyerdynamics, slippers, feet up, as you suggested. You’re correct to say this is strictly about texture as I was so absorbed to that aspect I completely missed that a single motif is cycling through the whole…"
This is the third of three movements.This was recorded on a Roland RD-2000 stage piano, Moog and Novation analog synthesizers, drum kit, and percussion. Presented in a rock-oriented style, this is mainly a parade of riffs accompanied by drumming…
"Thank you so much, Frank! And, if you make something where you think drums could work, or want to explore the concept if you're not sure, please let me know. --Regards, Ray"
"Hi, Frank - so I checked out your Ibanez, and yea, I see the connection between that instrument and what you're producing on bass (naturally, your skill is a considerable factor).
Thanks for supplying details on how you're getting such good piano…"

"Hey, Chris- I listened to this, both versions, last week and again the new version today. The points Gavin commented on is precisely what kept me engaged ..... isn't that funny? I was always thinking, " where is he going next?" And what really made…"
