From the CD
Number Eleven: The Path

Tokafi : "...The eleventh in a series of orchestral albums using entirely sampled instruments, it brings together elements of Classical era-writing, late Romantic orchestral music and American minimalism with a cinematic sensibility.
The record not only demonstrates the powerful and masterful application of sampled instruments, but, at least as importantly, showcases Gerber’s versatile and emotive writing."

Beautiful....your post mentioned minmalism as a facet but i don't hear much minimalism in your works (at least, not this piece), if anything, they are some of the most compositionally astounding pieces of music I've ever heard ????

[Jerry Gerber]

Hi Larry,

Thanks Larry!  Glad to know someone listens to my work.   I didn't mention minimalism, the guy who wrote the article for Tokafi music webzine wrote that!

Best,

Jerry

Hi Jerry.
You have an amazing talent in your arrangements wish I could hear what you hear in your head.
I do listen to all your tracks when you post them.

Thanks for listening Gary! I post my pieces on 4 different music forums and this forum is the only one that gives me any feedback or comments. I have no idea why.

Dreamy.  I like the combination of traditional instruments and synth sounds. I think you said once you do everything in the piano roll view? Which is amazing to me.

Hi Bjorn, 

No, I've never in my life used the piano roll view for composition. I compose in the staff view, and make use of the event list and the controllers view often. 

Thank you for listening and commenting, glad you enjoyed the movement!

A very impressive  and engaging composition.  The interplay between the orchestral instruments and synths is outstanding.
