Thanks KSband..

Hi Gary, I always use one reverb for the entire mix. Exceptions are sometimes with vocal libraries that contain their own reverb and software synths that also might have reverb. In this case I used a vocal library made for Kontakt and may have used it's own native reverb but I really don't remember as it was a number of years ago. In general though I find that to create a cohesive space, using fewer reverbs is better than using more. Jerry

A piece of spiritual fantasy. Featured on the album Cosmic Consciousness. PLAY

Thanks Old Joad!

Thanks KSband!

A new astrophotographic music video with a new soundtrack. Composed in Cakewalk using the Vienna Symphonic Library Orchestral Cube and the VSL Choir. Score Enjoy!

Interesting that you hear Irish Influence as I named it "Raga" due to the part the synth plays that somehow reminded me of an North Indian Raga. Thank you for listening Jimbo!

Thanks Steve!

A new astrophotographic music video featuring the gorgeous astrophotography of Timothy Martin. Music from the album Virtual Harmonics I hope this video helps to take your mind off this confused world for 5 minutes and contemplate the cosmic perspective...

Thank you Treesha for taking time to watch! Jerry

Thanks Tom! Glad you appreciate the videos... Jerry

I've placed my music videos on a You Tube channel for those who interested in music and astronomy... Jerry https://youtube.com/@astromusicvideo

Thanks Bjorn! I've never used CW articulations. I spend most of my editing time in the event list, the controllers view and the tempo window. I use an awful lot of velocity changes, attack and release changes and numerous cc's to change articulations in the VSL orchestral cube, the library I use. Also a lot of tempo changes and I also use volume envelopes when I render the MIDI file to audio. I agree that writing for live players is much easier, particularly when you have excellent players, because they can make (sometimes) even a crappy composition sound good. I've long said that MIDI makes a lot possible, but not necessarily easy or simple.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to listen and comment Jerry

I suggest listening to this when you're not tired or hungry, there's a lot going on. Scored for 31 wind, brass and percussion instruments + 2 full string sections (Vienna Symphonic Cube) Jerry PLAY

Thanks Bjorn! Advances in camera sensor technology and astronomical telescope mounts have been astounding in the past decade, which allows amateurs like me to take images as good or better than a large observatory could in the 1960s. Similar to the way music and recording technology has evolved. Jerry

Thanks Nigel, Larry & KSband for watching, glad you enjoyed it! Jerry
