Hi, It's a nice piece, and enjoyable, although I (personally!!!) wish that we did not have to think, or worry about classical music, or progressive, or symphonic, or whatever the idea is, or would be. For me, the music has to live on its own, and create its own landscapes, not bring these up because it has some this or that ... the instrument, for example, matters not, if the hand behind does not know how to use it for itself, instead of what was done before. The same note will not have the same feeling from 10 different hands, and if it does, then our conditioning to music is a problem ... and our ability to enjoy and appreciate new work will become an issue. It's a nice piece of music to listen to ... and appreciate. Possibly too much about its influences, and I kinda want to open the windows and let that air and sunshine in, even moonshine, to make it more alive, I guess ... not meaning that it isn't good ... it's wonderful! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!

| Thanks! I understand your point, sometimes one just tries to describe the type of music or its influences to spark interest in the listener, mainly because my works are instrumental |

Hi, Pop music has created an environment that makes it seem like you have to have lyrics, so people know what it is, or equivalent. I have to tell you, that I (personally!!!) distrust that and usually look the other way and go listen to something else. I understand the idea, being instrumental. but it makes me wonder how classical music lived for hundreds of years without vocals. It suggests right away that radio, and pop music, created something else for all of us ... and it wasn't exactly about the music as I see it ... and just like history in America, the movie studios owned all the music up until the 1950's, as they were the only ones that had the equipment to record and then process to sell. It hurt, a lot of black music here, and it got its revenge in the 1960's when the racist attitude in the studios (no one would buy a single by a black musicians!) went out in the loo ... and prooved, what a horrible business decision it was ... and you can compare that to the worst business decisions of the 20th century and the Beatles and Rolling Stones are still on that list with some folks even saying that no long haired person would ever touch their sacred cow equipment that did classical music and their own artists, or course!(BBC, btw!). I can relate to your situation, and I'm sorry for that ... and yeah, even PA makes it a point to make sure that they say this band or that artist is ... this or that ... and no one else will touch it, which is very sad and quite visible when some new things are posted here by themselves or a person related to the work. I can only hope that folks listen to things and enjoy them for what they are ... not what they are supposed to be, which you and I can never satisfy anyway. The best for you and your work ... special stuff deserves much better, and I wish that more could be done to help it. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
