+1 to the above... it certainly is up to your standards! Really good dynamics throughout both in arrangement and key-switching, some very cool string lines, and loved the mouth harp (?) accents.

I like, nicely captured, good arrangement and composition, some nice bits that made me smile.

So my question is "Where does that "E major triad-C minor triad scale" come from? It's beautiful.

This chord is not derived from a particular scale. It is what is known as a polychord, the juxtaposition of two triadic chords in a chromatic double mediant relationship (c-e being the "mediant", "chromatic" meaning not part of the major-minor system of chords/scales, and "double" meaning that one chord is major and the other minor. If you take the 6 notes of both chords you'll have c-eb-e-g-g#-b, so there's your scale! Jerry www.jerrygerber.com

working now. composition-wise sounds great. love the early-to mid 20th century mixed with film music idiom (totally my thing)! some great harmonic ideas. very well scored.
didn't like the synthy bits, felt a bit artificial.
as far as the actual orchestral sounds - they are OK. totally get across the ideas, but wouldn't fool anyone into thinking it was the NYSO.
the amount of work that goes into this is amazing though.i write out a shortpiece for vocals and piano and it takes me days!

I don't have, and have never had, an interest in "fooling" anyone regarding my recordings. To compare a recording of a virtual orchestra to a live orchestra is absurd, no musician who knows his craft and art does so. It's like comparing a live play to a film, or a photograph to a painting - they're different mediums with different strengths and weaknesses. People who do compare a live performance in a great hall to a virtual orchestra recording will probably not be able to appreciate the latter for what it is.
