Pleasant soundtrack &mdash 01/22/06 - 04:49:13 PM
I especially like the way the voices kind of float above it all; the end seems
to fortell another section, more ominous.
BTW, Tom, minor note - it's Jam Pack 5 that's the workd music one.

Another successful musical picture &mdash 01/22/06 - 05:13:06 PM
Lots of interesting things going on here; it settles into a well-defined
mood, nice groove, pretty quickly. I'm guessing that by classifying this
as "cinematic soundtrack," you're thinking of painting a musical picture
with a single mood, or for a single scene? Your music is always very
successful at setting a particular mood, but I always find myself
wishing it would transition to something with a different character,
different key, and then either work its way back to the mood of the
original (standard AB ternary form), or maybe even go further afield
(possible rondo form), or even begin developing some ideas (sonata
form). This may not remotely be anything you would want to do with
your music, but for me, it's always a very enjoyable listen that leaves
me wishing it had continued on to something else (maybe even
something down and dirty, for a real contrast!).

All the best, Clark

Wow &mdash 01/22/06 - 08:51:54 PM
Tom, you certainly have a handle on those world instruments. Very well
done indeed.

God bless,

Rick

P.S. was that Mysti I heard in the background? :-)

Rather interesting &mdash 01/23/06 - 02:15:11 AM
Rather interesting music with rather interesting moods.

As in part 1, this one ends with a new opening making me as a listener
really curious of what is to follow. This is almost like a thrilling book
where each chapter ends with a new intriguing input, making it difficult
to stop reading.

In this part I can imagine some voice at the top, just a little, maybe
only one long tone on a few places (with lots of reverb) thus to create
the mystified heaven with its shifts of colors.

It does sound like . . . &mdash 01/27/06 - 07:39:20 PM
. . . world music! Sounds very African.

GB3 and JamPack4, eh? An early adopter, it appears. Good for you.
That extra money wasn't doing you any good -- might as well send
Apple some more money! Kidding -- I would like to get both at some
point myself.

I like the strings juxtaposed with the voices and the piano. Very nice!

Have to say, those voices sound very good. Do I hear vowels and
articulation in the voices towards the end? Haunting.
