| Rage Hard by PaulWilkins | 2 months ago |
| Having just listened to Life's Sweet Melody, this is a switch! (typical of my itunes sets). I would like to be able to do something like this; I just don't know how yet. I dig it though! |
|
| Life's Sweet Melody by PaulWilkins | 2 months ago |
| Really beautiful, no musical clutter; yet rich and nicely textured. The oboe entrance is a great moment, with the violins entering on the next phrase. |

| How'd I miss this wonderful piece! My only mix comment is the pizz is a little low wrt the upper sustained strings. |
|
| Bluegrass Star Trek by soulima | 9 months ago |
| Ok, I love star trek, but I love parodies even more, and silly canadian references as well. Yea! Plus, I love the music. |
|
| As the Deer (Acapella) by IbanezDude321 | 9 months ago |
| Beautiful. I would agree with Steven that a sustain at the phrase ends would add a sweet intensity, but stands well as it is. It's great to hear intonation this clean on a capella work. |

| Silver's Demise by Trilobite2 | 1 year ago |
| I liked it! | |
| Octoberfest in Clam Bay by Xolv | 1 year ago |
| Fun, and well executed! | |
| Huron Carol (Corrected) by byHeart | 1 year ago |
| I think this is a lovely composition. Mix comments: In the latter third, the oboe line comes in, but seems too forward, and needs more reverb to match the ambience of the choral parts. Adjusting this would make a more natural, balanced mix. Worth tweaking! |
|
| Lieselotte, lass uns auf die Wiese geh'n by dirigent | 1 year ago |
| Andreas, splendidly creative. Always a treat. |
|
| Belle nuit, o nuit d'amour by Mosaica | 1 year ago |

| Very nicely done. Style, control, range, nuance. |
|
| Serenade LXXXVI by Narananda | 1 year ago |
| I like it. Warm, rich texture. | |
| Theme and Variation # 1 from the 'August Variations' by soulima | 1 year ago |
| Hi John, I really liked this one. Theme orchestration is strong right out of the gate. Pizz strings nice at the end of the first episode. Well crafted as always. |
|
| Invece no by RickyReyna | 1 year ago |
| Well done. as SH said, vocals good, well built. I particularly like the "yah-bit-dah" part. Only issue I heard is in intro, there are maybe three spots where the timing is off at the end of the measure (mix splice?) that you might be able to fix in the mix sequencer. |
|
| Ricercar - in memoriam JSB by dirigent | 1 year ago |
| bravo! | |
| Piano Impro.2010-25 by telo12 | 1 year ago |
| This is very pretty... and well developed (esp. for improv). I particularly like the phrases beginning about 2/3 into it. I wish I could see the score |
|
| Peace Be Unto Thee Stranger [chorus] by davidsmith99 | 1 year ago |
| Local choral group is going to read it next month. I look fwd to hearing how it really sounds... but yep, it does seem to work as a wind piece. It's also my best option for the moment in Notion. | |
| What a Wonderful World {the Grassy Knoll} by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Smooth and clean. | |
| Peace Be Unto Thee Stranger [chorus] by davidsmith99 | 1 year ago |
| Hey, thanks! | |
| King Arthur by deorleans | 2 years ago |
| Nice sound, beautifully performed. | |
| Urban Divide by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
| Smooth and sweet. This is so nice, and mix seems perfect. | |
| STATESBORO BLUES by RedthruNthru | 2 years ago |
| Super! I can only add the sound of my tapping foot. I'd go a long way to hear this band live (but not quite from CA to UK or KS in the Winter!) |
|
| Styx by dirigent | 2 years ago |
| Yea! You are genre-unlimited. |
|
| Heaven and Earth by soulima | 2 years ago |
| Rich and delicate. I would add a little more reverb on vln and cello to soften them in the mix. (I'm finding mixer control much more effective in N3, and trying to use it wisely.) |
|
| Death Tango by dcoscina | 2 years ago |
| Yes! Strong and effective. I don't get the tango feel, but the chords are great. Snare seems a little too forward in the mix. |
|
| Music for Brass, Percussion and Celesta by dcoscina | 2 years ago |
| I think this is really cool, with a unique sound using this orchestration. Very effective and balanced. | |
| Magic Around: Fantasy in Am for Orchestra by davidsmith99 | 2 years ago |
| Thanks for your many comments. I will give some more attention to the orchestration and dynamics. I have thought about the breathing in the lines, but probably not enough. | |
| Memento Mori by soulima | 2 years ago |
| really nice piece, and superb sound on the instruments, esp clarinet articulation! | |
| Eclectic by Filmscorz | 2 years ago |
| Yea! Always a pleasure to hear you play. | |

|
| Here Comes The Sun >>(a colaboration with Ruby Dubidoux) by TheTiler | 2 years ago |
| Really sweet; nice changes. | |
| CHOOSE A NICE DRESS... by Barretok | 2 years ago |
| Hello Bernard, I've listened to you since I've been at icomp; this lyric grabs me! Backdrop is clear and uncluttered. Like especially the lines in the opening & closing: Pick up your laundry. Choose a nice dress. Get ready to fly... Colors in the air. Life isn't fair. Here and there... Madness everywhere. Get ready to fly... Works even diced and sliced. |
|
| toi , moi et nous 2009 by sambossa | 2 years ago |
| I like this piece! (It reminds me of a bossa nova number I did not long ago.) I translated the title from French with Google: toi , moi et nous => you, me and us |
|
| Evening-Song by dirigent | 2 years ago |
| A, I like everything about this: the composition, the sensitive performance, the sound. Superb. |
|
| Primeira Dia de Sol by JayHagen | 2 years ago |
| Nice sound all around Jay & FC | |
| You Know Where You're Going- by grathy | 2 years ago |
| Nice Grathy! | |
| Der Wassermann by dirigent | 2 years ago |
| Beautiful job Andreas. | |
| Stormbringer - WIP by Tom_W | 3 years ago |
| I like it! Well done. I look fwd to you extending it further. | |
| IN THE NIGHT SO BLUE by Barretok | 3 years ago |
| This tune has a real cool groove; yes adding the tbone is good; the guitar solo fits in just right with the story and mood. |
|
| Pharoah's Blues by pharmakeus | 3 years ago |
| true blues on a subject that deserves it. good job guys. | |
| Lady Of The Dust by Rusticalia | 3 years ago |
| Good song, crystal-clear recording. Thanks for sharing this piece. (I think genre is correct, more folk/ambient than classical). |
|
| Jillian by TheTiler | 3 years ago |
| Beautiful. I am never disappointed by pieces with your name on 'em. | |
| Dual Tapestry by magnatone | 3 years ago |
| Excellent. Good results for lots of work collaborating. | |
| Golden (Tomorrow Will Shine) by kassia | 3 years ago |
| I really like this. Tuneful melody, well orchestrated. No need for perc; piano & cymbal rolls is enough. Nice close with the winds in front and the piano in back. | |
| Fhananova's Theme (Orchestral & Techno Versions) by padowan_learner | 3 years ago |
| This is nice. I missed it on first post. One drawback of always writing theatrical cues is that they want pieces shorter than your inspiration! Glad we get the full musical effect. | |
| Between Destinations by guitar55 | 3 years ago |
| Nice. | |
| Grotesqueries for Orchestra - Second Movement by soulima | 3 years ago |
| Stunning orchestration as usual. I would like to hear an ending chord instead of the fade-out though. |
|
| je ne sais quoi [flutes & harp] by davidsmith99 | 3 years ago |
| I've brought the mix down a few db, adjusted pan, revised dynamics in some parts, and added a couple of measures and a few notes for a smoother chord transition in places, and finally slowed it down a tad. I've re-posted. Thanks. | |
| The Beach Boys Medley by Cooper51283 | 3 years ago |
| Good job; that's a lot of fine singin' | |
| Silent Night by dirigent | 3 years ago |
Superb. Beautifully original take on a classic. |
|
| Forty By Forty by LarryPattis | 3 years ago |
| What an excellent song! I like bend/vibrato ornaments | |
| Cover-Roxanne by DavidBowles | 3 years ago |
| Nicely done; you give a different feel to the song--it's what makes a good cover. | |
| Kristi's Theme (2009) by georgeptingley | 3 years ago |
| This is very pretty. Melodic. (And speaking of skating, it is reminiscent of the theme from Ice Castles.) With such clean guitar and other instruments, I would suggest changing the synth (entrance at ~70%) to something a tad less bright (maybe bring back the flute?) for that part. I would also bring down the level of the cymbal swell and omit the final bar chime or use a slower "strum." |
