"Hi Stanley.
I was raised a Catholic but now I am an atheist.
But I am surprisingly a pro lifer but probably for different reasons than you.
I wish you well in your endeavour.
Unless you would like the challenge of working with me....."

"Firstly, thank you to all those who gave me 14 points in total. I am so joyful to be in the top 3 :D
Secondly, thanks so much Gav for all the effort you put in to hosting the competition and your generosity of the prizes. I had been disheartened…"

"I am glad I raised the issue as it has brought out useful discussion. It also seems to me most would agree that voting for your own piece is somewhat self congratulatory. I have narrowed it down to 4 pieces and since I won't vote for my own that…"
"Yes of course! I am not sure if I will vote for my own piece yet. I was just asking if voting 1, 2, or 3 for you won work was considered poor form. Gav Brown said:

"What is the conventions with regard to voting for your own composition?"
"Hi Gav. Is the contest going to be judged on composition primarily, or production and composition?"
"I take it that is 7 Feb not 2 Jul?"
"I have not entered such a competition before, but I will try.I have been disheartened for months now and done no composing, so I guess this will be a good kick off."
"A very Lovely gentle piece Markus. I always feel like a hypocrite when I make suggestions because I am a rank amateur. There are two places where the left hand felt too repetitive to me so when I looked at your score I can see that from 9-12 and…"
"Thanks Colin. It is, at this stage, not leading anywhere it is just my ideas about a nebula. Give me about a billion years and I may be able to bring it to an end. :D Seriously though, thanks for the direction on direction. Colin Dougall said:

"Hi Stanley
Sounds very nice indeed. This piece is actually well-named since its a bit nebulous in the sense that its hard to grasp where its leading us. They do say that it's the journey, not the getting there that counts. But it would be nice to…"

"Thanks Michael. Your comments are most helpful. I am curious as to which piece you felt was an exercise. If you are thinking of Light and Airy you are spot on the money. michael diemer said:

"Thanks Graeme for your very positive comments. I think it would be a good discipline for me to try and build this in to a piece without a huge climax as that is often what I tend to do. I also think if I keep the strings playing those bars and bars…"
"Thanks Keith. I notice that most of my pieces tend to build to a climax at the end. I am not sure yet what I will do with this piece, but if I build a climax it would have to be for some cosmic event. Keith Theodosiou said:

"Thanks Kjell The idea is to paint a picture of space. I tried to keep it thin and spacious and ponderous. I even thought of calling it nebulous. I see what you were thinking about in Smetana's Moldau piece especially the second movement/theme. I…"
"I could listen to this all night. In asking, where does it go from here, I think it's already on a journey. You could easily fill another 20 minutes of delightful ambient sounds, with or without a huge dynamic range. I suspect you have the talent…"
