For Deep Listeners, Patient Listeners: Symphony #7, 4th movement

No matter how far sample libraries, computer and audio technology advance, the aesthetic, imaginative, and structural choices a composer makes will always be the determining factor as to how well something works as music, as composition. It is as true today as it always was:  composition is about ideas as well as sound, and the abstract nature of music makes it an ideal art for expressing ideas that can only be said in music. A computer cannot feel, it cannot know beauty or intuitively sense the charm of a melody, this is why I put more emphasis on imagination than I do on technology.  Not that I don't appreciate fine tools, of course I do.

Take a listen to the 4th movement of my seventh symphony if you have 12 minutes.  (12:27).

    I agree with you that regardless of the sounds and sample available nowdays, it still falls back to basic writing skills.  That being said, you have done a marvelous job of combining classic instrument sounds with synthesizer sounds which creates a rich texture.  The mix is well balanced and dynamic.  I'm impressed with anyone who can write classical music as competently as you do.  I've enjoyed listening to your music over the last month or so, and I look forward to hearing more.

    All the best,
    Lynn
