Rob and Anne-Marie


Hi Rob & Anne-Marie,

Yep, all midi except the low-key drums. And thanks for mentioning the ending ... you have no idea how many I did that before I got what I wanted ... kind of like fanfare at the end! Thank you for the very nice compliments!

Hii David ...

"Movie-ish" works for me ... that was the intent! I appreciate your feedback and kind words!

For our ears it perfectly captures the scenario you described.

Midi (other than Midi super tracks) is a mystery to me but whatever you did works so well.

Excellent!!!

J&B


Thanks so much, guys! Midi is a mystery to me, too! I just loaded the tracks and farted around with them until I git a sound that I liked. (I like to give technical explanations ... ha!)

Thanks again!

Hi Ember. It's always a treat to hear from the PG Music folks. That was part of the intent ... Feudal Japan. I'm more than delighted it came across to you. Thansk again!

Hi Greg,

Thanks! I do a **LOT** of film music. But I don't post them here because most them are done on a different program. In fact, I have an entire album of soundtracks pieces called "Sounds of the City". I tried to capture the nuances of the various aspects of the big city.

Thanks for your kind words!

Alan

This is one of the most unique compositions created in B-I-A-B that I've heard on the "User's Forum." Is the film available for viewing in the United States?

Hi Loren,

I apologize for the tardy reply. My wife's health is not good and I've been tied up with that lately. I'm glad you enjoyed the track! I always loved film music ... I grew up listening to the soundtracks of the old movies from the forties and fifties and have been enamored with them since.

The film people are shooting out od town for a while. When they return, I'll ask them about the name of the movie and where it might be seen.

Thanks for your kind words!

Hi David,

Wonderful work! I love it.

The Japanese flavor is well expressed and mixed with other countries'. The sitar sound is effectively used in place of the Koto sound.

I know a very similar Japanese couple. In this case, she is from a family of strict Japanese cultural tradition which is very rare today in Japan especially in large cities. She is from the city in Kyushu that was a castle town and therefore still inherits some of the Samurai-age culture. She herself is free from the tradition. They live in Tokyo for long and met there. They got married last year. Their wedding was held in Hawaii.

Thank you very much, Hiroshi. And that's a very interesting story you told about the Japanese couple. Hawatt ... beautiful! I spent a month in Japan in 1967 - you have a very beautiful country!

Thank you again for your wonderful comments!

Dear Mr. David...

I am truly sorry to read that your wife is experiencing less-than-good health. Boy, oh, boy, our bodies sure like to remind us who's the boss, don't they? frown

Well, my late mother, Edith, taught me that you pray for what you really need, and not what you want, so, I am going to petition Our Creator to deliver some quick and lasting relief to your wife from whatever is ailing her.

What is your wife's first name, so I can let Our Creator know for whom I'm asking the blessings?

Most sincerely,

"bluage" (a.k.a. Loren)
