Thanks Bob and Julien for your support. Well, julian, as usual you give my work a very thorough going-over :) I rather suspected you wouldn't be too keen on "Ride With Yoshimi", but I thought the (almost) aggressive third part would appeal to you. "Between The Stars" is a direction in which I seem to be 'drifting'? with my ideas. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Hello Nils! Since you posted this on youtube, I expect, tat there is a video component to it. So what did you use? A still or a small film? I'd be interested to know. The piece itself sounds very celtic in its harmonies. It struck me, because you didn't do one or two moves, which I'd expected with this type of music and purpose. But thinking further, I've heard these celtic sounds in a lot of incidental music for science fiction. What a surprise. :-) Nice piece, very smooth. I love the lead(s). Kind regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

Hello Will! I must bag your appology, you have gven me more credit than I deserve, for my attention must have slipped, whilst listening to Ride with Yoshimi. I listened again and yes, I really couldn't remember the rougher section. It does please me. A little reminiscence of Wendy Carlos. I remember her showing a new Moog pedal, which could be used to alter the attack of presets. The chord progression was similar and the feeling, that came with it. Rather vintage. A completely different matter, that struck me, while listening to it again is, that Yoshimi/ZynAddSubFX does have its "sound". On one hand, this is perhaps a plus, it is recogniseable. On the other hand, this is a minus, since it means, that not very many people seem to program it or if they do, most tend towards Yoshimi's existing presets. I mean the feel of new patches is similar. I think you, Will, are the only one, of whom I know, programming Yoshimi. Still there are so many wellknown sounds, that it almost appears like a preset synth. OK, maybe I don't know of many active users and I don't always ask, what people used exactly. One striking feature of almost every patch is the now "classic" reverb built into Yoshimi. And so much for just commenting on a bit, that slipped past. :-) Warmly yours Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
