ProjectSAM Orchestral Brass

ProjectSAM has heaps of lovely virtual instruments. I currently own ProjectSAM Orchestral Brass and I'll have to admit that the sound quality of the brass instruments are superb !

During a recent debate, it was suggested that as space is thought to be infinite, there may theoretically be an infinite number of planets. With an infinite number of… Continue

03 December 2009

Well, it has been a few months since my last update, so there have been a lot of changes during this time!

The ensemble piece is being performed by the Rednote Ensemble in Edinburgh, and consists of Square 'Cello, Toy Piano, Sleigh Bells,… Continue
