I'm sure no-one is the least bit interested, but I don't play chess at work, and I have a few minutes to kill before lunch...

Composing music is like a box of chocolates...

"Mirror of her Soul" got its name from a book by Stephen Donaldson, which was actually called "Mirror of her Dreams." But initially I called the tune "Andelain", which was the name of the great and beautiful plains in the land of Donaldson's Chronicles of Thomas Covernant.

Its a MIDI file. I composed the piece in 2000 (the turn of the century?) on an old version of Cakewalk Pro. The instruments are a collection of various soundfonts downloaded from the web and played via SoundBlaster Audigy. The music was recorded on WaveLab Lite and converted to mp3 by dbPowerAmp.

And that is all I have to say about that...

Well its a good piece. I liked it. So have you updated Sonar yet? 6 years on, you should have the latest, right?
Stephen Donaldson does fantasy, is that correct? Do you read science fiction?

Thanks! No, I still have my trusty 11 year old software. But I'm seriously considering getting Cakewalk Music Creator 3. This competition had definitely peaked my interest again.

Stephen Donaldson does fantasy and sci-fi. The Chronicles of Thomas Covernant is a great read. The next best thing to Lord of the Rings. I'm not a huge Sci-fi fan, but I do love short story sci-fi anthologies and the works of Robert Heinlein.

Do you have Sonar? In which ways do you use it, given that you are already such an accomplished musician?
