andyjh, thanks for your comment.
My music does get used a bit by film makers and theater companies. I am actually making it available the local movie makers' resource centre - however, considerations as to what kind of movie it may fit don't influence what I compose. I've been making music to pay the bills for decades. Now, as an "old geezer", I compose entirely for my own enjoyment.
A real orchestra won't be able to perform this, but I do have music that can be performed by an orchestra. For my own personal creative satisfaction, though, VSL is just about good enough. None of the competition measure up to it - that's why I started buying VSL libraries.
Tom23, I still listen to Tomita, in the 21st century!
I reckon most of my inspiration comes from Stockhausen, the work done at IRCAM, Xenakis, Ligeti… and the likes of Morton Feldman and John Adams (and perhaps W. Carlos) from the other side of the World.
Thank you for your encouraging words. I am certainly going to continue working at my very own music, regardless of commercial success or approval.
Some time in the future I want to create a large scale work for orchestra, voices, noises, Moog, and "this kind of stuff", all perfectly integrated and consistent within itself. What I am doing now are sort of sketches, and it is beginning to sound promising to me.
