Just some music I've done
 

Just a link to some music I have done, for those who wander forums at four in the morning. www.myspace.com/michaelrissling

that's some neat stuff, i liked the first sinister thought and cargail the most

Wow, that's some really amazing stuff.
Wish I could compose music half as good as that.

Thanks, for listening and the kind words. I appreciate that very much, it's nice to be heard. :)

what do you use to make the music?

EDIT: Well nevermind, this is obviously you recording yourself playing the piano :p LOL

And its really good too :D !

Actually, the piano is played by yvonne Gillespie, who was a piano major going to the university I was in at the time lol. I did that piece for my first year composition class, and she was assigned to me as my victim...er..performer. The rest I made using cubase, kontakt 2 and the garriton personal orchestra. I use cubase for most of my midi sequencing, then kontact as the virtual instruments. Only rarely have I had a chance to work with a real orchestra, as they are costly lol. Sometimes, with a bit of money and time I can whip up a small 20 piece chamber orchestra, and then using layers make it sound like a full orchestra..but it's tough because you really need to mess with the strings to balance the other families....but live players are always ideal if you can get them ha ha.

Cubase ftw, man :D

Which version? I'm stuck with LE...

And I'm also very curious how you get such high quality, do you mic or line-in?

ooh fun! Really great.
I love hearing other people's works, great to know there are creative minds out there.


Keep up the good work.
