Re: MrDebussy
Just beautiful! You must focus a lot of time and effort upon composition to be so prolific. I often chide myself that I spend too much time doing other things and don't devote enough to my musical interest.
Anyway, thank you so much, again, for posting your compositions.
May I ask what part of the world you call home, and a little about your background? This is a personal question, so please feel free to ignore it.
Another gorgeous piece. Your work is inspiring.

Beautiful piece--
Thank you! I composed this last one last summer (I posted it only now because I saw that someone who makes some superb French music just started following me on Soundcloud and I thought I would pay homage to the French for Debussy's amazing contributions to art. By the way, one of my favorite photographs of musicians is of DeBussy with Stravinsky - the passing of the torch).
Well, home is in eastern coast US, background in sports, piano (classical/jazz), teaching, then physics, more teaching, then derivative securities (risk management, not speculation!), then retirement and composing. My wife makes jewelry and my daughter is in high school. I could easily get you my email address, just not sure how to do it privately.

If you mean Gerard Delassus, I agree. I'm now following both you and him on SoundCloud.

That's a nice photo (I just googled it) of Debussy standing behind a seated Stravinsky (if that is the photo you referred to). Thank you for mentioning a little about your current life and background. It is very interesting. I live in New Mexico, US; not in one of the many beautiful parts, but instead in the bleak and harsh eastern plains, where (believe it or not) there is not a single native species of tree, only briefly-greening dry grassland and some tenacious shrubs and hardy weeds. But even bleak harshness can be beautiful and deeply poignant, and the skies and clouds can be magnificent.

Hi, honjr.
May I ask what preset do you use, and also could you share the midi file you used to records this?

Hi - I uploaded a PT 4 fxp used for this piece. A few plugins were used - compression, EQ, and reverb - but will not drastically alter the character. There are too many notes for solo performance, you'd need two pianos - please let me think about whether I want to release the midi, thanks!
