    I was in a celestial mood and wrote this demo using the synchron stage for strings, harp and WW along with the synchron perc library using some lighter percussion. Hope you enjoy!

    Guy that is masterful, not only fantastic performance but really imaginative orchestration.  It is reminiscent, without being derivative, of Delius, in the atmospheric quality.  Another one of your fabulous tone pictures.

    There was a time when I could almost immediately tell when an orchestration was a MIDIstration.  That time has passed.

    There was also a time when I thought if it was recorded on the silent stage then it wasn't worth listening to but that time has also passed.  This Synchron stage has completely changed my attitude about how to approach sample recording. 

    So June 6th, 2017 is kind of a D-day of sorts for me in this regard.

    This is a beautiful piece Guy.  It's very much like being in a dream where everything moves at the pace of molasses, the rules of physics are optional, and the abnormal becomes the normal.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Hi Guy,

    Once again you took us in a fantastical trip, in your rich world of sound and meaning. The performance is flawless and thrilling in an excellent acoustic setting (Synchron). I agree with the other members that your rendition surpasses the bounderies of sampled music and makes the exclusive position of live performance less exclusive. I'm sure this is not your intention, but perfectionist as you are, you want to come as close as possible...

    With admiration,

    Thank you guys, such nice comments!! I must admit the synchron lib was inspiring.

    VSL regularly made some giant steps over the years but Synchron perc library and its future is a leap. 

    -Jasensmith, I agree, these latest samples are very realistic. D-day cool, I'll have a beer-day.

    -Paul, thanks for your continious feedback, appreciate the support. 

    -William, Delius yes, and echoes of Debussy. I appreciate the orchestration comment. One thing I found interesting is the exchange between the celesta and harp, each playing arpeggions in the 1st min.
