No thanks, close this window
I quite like the expression and phrases.
Thanks Mark. However I have no idea to what you are referring. Please let me know which composition and/or song so inspired you.
Hi David, As promised I finally got round to listening to your classical and jazz music - very powerful stuff indeed. It seems that "It Only Happens In The Movies" is not typical of your usual compositions. I am not sure that I have the ability to produce what you do, although I might give it a go. I have a Yamaha digital piano which MIDIs into Cubase 5 with Halion Symphony Orchestra, so I believe that I have the equipment. What software do you use to create your classical works? Have a good Christmas and all the best with your music. Alex
Hello Alex. Sorry for the delay in responding, but things came about which just had to be sorted before the new year began. Thank you for listening to other examples of my music and for your encouraging comment "very powerful stuff". Yes I try my best, but am still anxiously awaiting some positive results. Having said that however, just before Christmas, I received the welcome news that my Big Cat Kingdom had made the Top 5 Finals in the 2011 Song of the Year Contest - so there appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Sounds as though you have some good basic equipment, so I hope to hear some good orchestral work from you. I use a digital piano, Sibelius and the Garritan Personal Orchestra, which does have a few compatibility problems with Sibelius - which, although annoying, I somehow manage to get around. I wish you and yours a good, productive 2012, during which I will be eagerly listening out for your orchestral endeavours. I wish you success with your music and any other creativity. The main thing is NEVER GIVE UP! Dave
Hi David, My turn for a delayed response and I apologize. Well done on making the finals of the 2011 Song of the Year contest and good luck in the final. At present I am trying to improve my music and songwriting through feedback sessions on SongU, so I have not been on Broadjam as often; however, I want to come back better than before. I did try out Sibelius but had problems with the demo version which rather put me off a purchase. I chose Cubase instead, especially as it offered a free trial and ultimate discount on Halion Symphony Orchestra. I think that ultimately my main pitching will be for TV and film but I need to improve the quality of my production. For the time being I just want to make better audio-visual presentations with better music. I wish you a productive 2012 for your music, starting with the Broadjam final. Alex
Hi David, many thanks for your review of ''A Song for Beth'' your words of encouragement are appreciated. Having played music all my life for other people I am now retired and write what ever I like when ever I like for me and It's great fun. You are the first British composer I have come across on Broadjam and I wish you all the luck and success with your music. Dave Mason
