Look who's here... everybody.... wink ;)
Glad to see you're still alive...Happy Holidays. --Mike from Bennigans.
Ha ha, I found you. Hey, it's good to see you doing anything at midi-contest. Let people have more fun and be more interesting....

Coolest regards, :-)

Trieu
are you still alive? we miss you at pixel arts
Steve Smith, thanks SO MUCH for your appreciation! It was inspired by my reconnecting (albeit through email) with a long-lost love. And your remarks about orchestration are very astute - thanks again!
Shawn,

Just enjoyed "Absence" - a beautiful piece indeed - lovely use of reeds and strings (and pizz. bass).

Keep up the good work.

Steve
Hi Shawn,
Sorry for goin AWOL for some time. I have been very busy job hunting.
Just heard your new set of variations. Of course you are right about it being darker and tenser. But it also seems to me like a fairy tale gone wrong: like Alice walking into a cave full of bats. I like it very much (maybe it appeals to the macabre side in me!). Keep up the good work. Best,
Bernard
diyonisos: Thanks so much for listening! As far as "sounding like a whole orchestra full of world-class musicians", you can thank the miracle of modern technology for that. But it was awfully nice of you to say, and if there's anything I can get you in the way of soundfonts, compositional aids, etc., feel free to drop a line. Again, many thanks!
I'm impressed, really great stuff here. I'm scratchin' my head trying to figure out how one guy can sound so much like a whole orchestra full of world-class musicians. Incredible!
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to your tracks.

Exceptional talent, superb structure, and compellingly creative.

Great production values.

Inspiring stuff!
Thanks, J. Todd, for listening! Stay tuned for more works in the next few weeks!
Your music is not the offspring of an undisciplined intellect. Your collection is the scene of genius sifting, writing and splashing through masterpieces that land all over the place. Some floating back and forth to the ground marked with "B" for beautiful and other's landing on the works of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven et al., because they are of equal quality.
It's difficult to choose favourites, but tonite i encourage listeners to hear: Orchestral Variation #3, String Variation-Finale, and Entrance of the Princess Aria.

Nice work, Shawn. Because i am not a composer, i have to ask... how in the world do you think up all this music? I enjoy your abilities in giving us a simple, lovely theme as sweet and comforting as an old nursery rhyme.. which you then turn and shape to take us on a ride through many thrills and spills of emotion or adventure.

Thanks again for the beautiful music,

Thanks a lot, Shawn, for lashing out at me on my message board...I really appreciate all of your sh**...for your information, I've been tested as a MUSIC GENIUS by the Ball State University School of Music Department of Music Theory and Composotion, and I've been a member of Mensa for 20 years with a math and music IQ of 143...so I AM a musical genius, whether you are incapable of recognizing it or not...my mother was a classical pianist from Indiana University School of Music, where she studied with Hoffzimmer of Berlin and London, who was a pupil of world famous classical composer, BUSONI...also, a personal friend of Leonard Bernstein and Gion Carlo Menotti and Plcido Domingo who lives in San Francisco told me I am a musical genius, too...so it is not just some "inflated opinion of mine", but it the consensus of several musical geniuses...the women in San Francisco who told me I am a musical genius also told me I am one of the premiere musicians of my generation, and she has an IQ of 150...so there, Shawn! If you can't recognize genius in other people, then that is your problem, not mine!
