Scored for full virtual orchestra and synthesizers.
From the album Time Shadows (2007)

That was really good! I thought maybe things were panned a little woo wide, but I'm sure other people will disagree. (Most of the songs I here at this website seemed panned awfully wide to me.) I like that you aren't afraid to mix synth sounds with traditional symphonic sounds too. Michael Boddicker used to do this kind of thing years ago.

Hi Charlie,
Thanks, glad you enjoyed listening!

hey Jerry, here's a sort-of play-by-play of my thoughts while listening
 
00:15 - SUPER cool use of different textures, the synth stuff adds to the build VERY nicely. Reminds me of something from a video game score.
01:14 - digging the start of that new melodical tidbit and how you expand on it
01:51 - your chords and sound choice make me thing "Arabian nights" from Aladdin :)
02:30 MAN, such excellent use of those synth sounds!!
03:00 - the use of brass is AWESOME! That heavy low brass theme makes me think of so many games and films
03:45 - hihat sounds a bit too far forward in the mix
05:19 - that piano line is to die for :)
06:41 - OOOH that lush chord with tremolo strings... LOVE it!
07:30 - nice way bringing in that new theme
07:45 - even better bringing in THAT new theme!
08:07 - reminds me so much of an animated film.
10:45 - The way the synth is so directly fundamental to producing the mood changes is awesome
11:19 - The cymbals here could certainly have a bit better sound quality
12:00 - aaand original theme recurs!
 
Awesome piece! Most of my thoughts are transcribed up above. I could certainly hear it as a timed score written to a scene in an animated film or something. I ougta try something like this.

Thanks for listing what you liked about this piece!  Most people like to list what they don't like.  Funny you mention animation a few times, I scored the Gumby TV series produced in the late 1980s, I was one of the first composers to score an entire animated TV series using MIDI (which I catch hell for because early samples and synths were not nearly as musical and sophisticated as they are today).  You can hear some here: www.jerrygerber.com/gumby.htm
 
Best,
Jerry
