Hi Kate. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for the kind and thorough review of "Push 'em on up to the Line." I can see where it sounds like it could be a song about war, but it's actually a different kind of war. I originally wrote this many moons ago, but didn't really start to think about it again until AI came along. It is actually a war with robots and with the growing lack of need for anything physical. Thus, help us grow and fight disease is basically saying--sure, advancement in medicine and many other things is great--keep it going---the verse "exercise your expertise as you help us grow and fight disease but don't lock our brains and throw away the keys or we might lay benign" is saying don't try to control us to the point where we don't even have to think or function normally anymore as you continue to flood us with more and more technology. Hope this explains it a little.

Good day, Mrs. Kate!

Many thanks for the review. You're right: "Father" is a piece for Piano and Viola. The electronic part results from the texture and the effects of the Piano-track. Actually your comments thereto are very helpful, for I am sending it to a Chamber Music Composition Competition and electronic elements are not allowed. Therfore I made a version - "Father (acoustic version)" - without texture and additional effects on the Piano track and uploaded it to broadjam (the original version is still there). And yes - it isn't recoded yet with live instruments. Maybe some Compostion Contests will change this. But thank you very much for the info, that my virtual instruments sound quite realistic!

Many thanks again and best regards,
symiphony
