Hi dcuny,

The interplay between synth instruments is not always easy to achieve judiciously. Here, I'm glad you like them. Thanks to you.

Derochette, isn't playing with MIDI a lot of fun?
I really liked the groove on this one.
Nice selection of synth sounds.
Perfect blend.
You should do more like this.

I loved this one.

Hi Misha,

I'm glad you like it. The choice of synths is not always obvious. Thank you for your nice comment.

Hi Janice & Bud,


It makes me really happy to read your encouraging comment. I often hesitate to include too much electro in my songs. Thank you for your appreciation.

Hi MarioD,

I often tend to replace the RTs with their midi files and put my vst except for guitar solos and other instruments. The biab VST tool is a very nice tool that allows everyone to adapt it according to their needs. And I will say that being able to do all the possible simulations from an RT track is really excellent. Thank you for your appreciation.

Hi Scott C,

thanks for the nice comment. Using synths allows us to change the sounds and other musical instruments that we usually prefer. Thanks again to you.

Very interesting piece, nice combination of synthesizer sounds and guitars. Has many nice details rhytmically, sometimes sort of warlike marching, but luckily some section reach the feel of peaceful nature. Difficult to put into a category, reminds me of computer music between 80's and 90's. Very good work, indeed.

Derochette,

A stunning fusion of alternative rock and classical music.
I also often incorporate classical elements into my music, but unfortunately I don't have the background of alternative rock, so I can't write songs like this.
You've done it brilliantly. Wonderful!
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Hello Derochette
Absolutely cool song
Very good songwriting
Reminds me immediately of the 90's when I played shoot 'em up games on the Amiga computer ;-)))
Your song would have fit very well as the title track
Great work !
Many greetings
Andi ;-)

Hi Jannesan,

You are right. Even if there are synths in my composition, it cannot be classified in this style already by the drums. Thank you for commenting.

Hi animarorecords,

I try my hand at all styles even if I'm not a specialist in any. But I like to combine the orchestral with different musical instruments. Thank you for your nice comment.

Derochette,

You develop some of the most engaging instrumentals . . . which are usually not my thing . . but your productions are always so stellar that they are always a cool listen . . . I always find myself wondering where the song will go next and am usually pleasantly surprised. This is no exception. Excellent work!

All my best to you,

Deej
