    so after some years of dealing with the romantic orchestra I return to smaller ensembles and composed these four pieces for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, guitar, double bass and guests:

    the plan is to extend this to an evening filling cycle which should be recorded and played on a little tour in autumn 2009. If you have any ideas for a label/publisher and/or concert agent or simply a place where you think this music would fit, I'd apreciate any idea.

    For the technically inclined: this is a Sibelius playback of the Special Edition Plus. Guitar is from EW Gypsy and the pizz/Jazz double bass from Trilogy.

    The drums are interesting, they're actually played by the guys from www.drumsforyou.com. I always wanted to try this service and I'm quite satisfied.

    Comment away!

    Bests,

    - Mathis

    Mathis ia an excellent composer, but what are all those repetitions for?  It sounds like a broken record.  It is hard to listen to that - it is irritating. Though I have trouble with minimalism. The instrumental performance is  excellent anyway.

    Dear Bill, that's exactly the intention, hihi... 😉

    Of course it will sound a bit different when it is played by real performers.

    Thanks for listening, anyway. I didn't mind your former rave about my filmmusic, by the way... just had no time to respond.

    Yes, that music for Possibility of an Island is tremendous.  So with the live performance you will have more subtle variations on this perhaps?   I can see that would be different.
